Thematic Bible: Power to work, given the disciples


Thematic Bible



He appointed twelve apostles to travel with Him, whom He could send out to preach and have authority to drive out evil spirits.

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 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."
