Acts 1-3

The Promise of the Holy Spirit

[8] but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to THE END OF THE EARTH." [Act 1:8 LSB]

[6] "I am Yahweh, I have called You in righteousness; I will also take hold of You by the hand and guard You, And I will give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the nations, [Isa 42:6 LSB]

[6] He says, "It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to cause the preserved ones of Israel to return; I will also give You as a light of the nations So that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth." [Isa 49:6 LSB]

[47] "For so the Lord has commanded us, 'I HAVE PLACED YOU AS A LIGHT FOR THE GENTILES, THAT YOU MAY BRING SALVATION TO THE END OF THE EARTH.'" [Act 13:47 LSB]

 

The Ascension

[9] And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. [Act 1:9 LSB]

Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas

[26] And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles. [Act 1:26 LSB]

The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost

[3] And there appeared to them tongues like fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them. 
[4] And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance. [Act 2:3-4 LSB]

Peter’s Sermon at Pentecost

[21] 'AND IT WILL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.' [Act 2:21 LSB]

[32] "And it will be that everyone who calls on the name of Yahweh Will be delivered; For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem There will be those who escape, As Yahweh has said, Even among the survivors whom Yahweh calls. [Joe 2:32 LSB]

[36] "Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ--this Jesus whom you crucified." [Act 2:36 LSB]


About Three Thousand Souls Saved

[37] Now when they heard [this], they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men, brothers, what should we do?" 
[38] And Peter [said] to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. [Act 2:37-38 LSB]

[8] "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;
[9] concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; 
[10] and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; 
[11] and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. [Jhn 16:8-11 LSB]

[41] So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.
[42] And they were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to the prayers. [Act 2:41-42 LSB]

[46] And daily devoting themselves with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart,
[47] praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number daily those who were being saved. [Act 2:46-47 LSB]


The Lame Beggar Healed

[6] But Peter said, "I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene--walk!" [Act 3:6 LSB]

Peter’s Sermon in Solomon’s Portico

[19] "Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; [Act 3:19 LSB]
