But this is what was spoken about through the prophet Joel:<n id="1" />p>

This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into heaven.<n id="1" />p>

This happened three times, and then everything was pulled up to heaven again.

(Now seven sons of a man named<n id="1" /> Sceva, a Jewish high priest, were doing this.)<n id="2" />

All<n id="1" /> who heard him were amazed and were saying, &#8220;Is this not<n id="2" /> the man who in Jerusalem was ravaging<n id="3" /> those who call on this name, and who had come here to bring them as prisoners<n id="4" /> to the chief priests?&#8221;

All were astounded and greatly confused, saying to one another, &#8220;What does this mean?&#8221;

After<n id="1" /> making Peter and John<n id="2" /> stand in their midst, they began to inquire, &#8220;By what power or by what name<n id="3" /> did you do this?&#8221;

For the man, on whom this miraculous sign<n id="1" /> of healing had been performed,<n id="2" /> was over forty years old.p>

So do what<n id="1" /> we tell you: We have four men<n id="2" /> who have taken<n id="3" /> a vow;<n id="4" />

When he said this,<n id="1" /> an argument<n id="2" /> began<n id="3" /> between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Therefore be advised<n id="1" /> that this salvation from God<n id="2" /> has been sent to the Gentiles;<n id="3" /> they<n id="4" /> will listen!&#8221;p>

This<n id="1" /> became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so that in their own language<n id="2" /> they called that field<n id="3" /> <i>Hakeldamai>, that is, &#8220;Field of Blood.&#8221;)

<p class="otpoetry"><b><i>Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced;i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>my bodyi>b><n id="1" /> <b><i>also will live in hope,i>b>p>

Now when the commander<n id="1" /> of the temple guard<n id="2" /> and the chief priests heard this report,<n id="3" /> they were greatly puzzled concerning it,<n id="4" /> wondering what this could<n id="5" /> be.

Then he fell<n id="1" /> to his knees and cried out with a loud voice, &#8220;Lord, do not hold this sin against them!&#8221;<n id="2" /> When<n id="3" /> he had said this, he died.<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">Then the eunuch said<n id="1" /> to Philip, &#8220;Please tell me,<n id="2" /> who is the prophet saying this about &#8211; himself or someone else?&#8221;<n id="3" />

This went on for two years, so that all who lived in the province of Asia,<n id="1" /> both Jews and Greeks, heard the word of the Lord.<n id="2" />p>

Therefore I urge you to take some food, for this is important<n id="1" /> for your survival.<n id="2" /> For not one of you will lose a hair from his head.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">But Peter stood up<n id="1" /> with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them: &#8220;You men of Judea<n id="2" /> and all you who live in Jerusalem,<n id="3" /> know this<n id="4" /> and listen carefully to what I say.

So then, exalted<n id="1" /> to the right hand<n id="2" /> of God, and having received<n id="3" /> the promise of the Holy Spirit<n id="4" /> from the Father, he has poured out<n id="5" /> what you both see and hear.
