Context Readings

Jesus Talks To The Apostles

17 And these [miraculous] signs will attend [the conversion of] those who believe. [Note: This refers to the supernatural miracles performed by the apostles and their associates during the apostolic age. See verse 18 they will pick up snakes [i.e., without being harmed]; and if they happen to drink anything poisonous, it will not harm them; they will place hands on sick people [i.e., with prayer] and they will be healed." 19 So then, after the Lord Jesus had spoken to them He was taken up to heaven, where He sat down at the right side of God.
