not to all the people, but to witnesses who were be fore appointed by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him, after he rose from the dead.

And while they did not believe as yet for joy, and were astonished, he said to them: Have you any thing here to eat?

Commanded

And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you. But do you remain in the city of Jerusalem, till you be clothed with power from on high.

The promise

for it is not you that speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father that speaks in you.

If, then, you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what you ought to say.

But this he spoke of the Spirit, which those who believe on him were about to receive; for the Holy Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

and I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Paraclete, that he may dwell with you forever;

But when the Paraclete has come, whom I will send to you from my Father, the Spirit of the truth, which proceeds from the Father, he will testify of me;

But yet I tell you the truth: it is profitable for you that I go away. For if I go not away, the Paraclete will not come to you. But if I go away, I will send him to you.

And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them: Receive the Holy Spirit.
