Before His ascension to Heaven, He said to them, "Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." "And, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." Acts. 1:8; Matthew 28:20.

Før sin himmelfart sagde han til dem: "Men når Helligånden kommer over jer, skal I få kraft; og I skal være mine vidner både i Jerusalem og i hele Judæa og Samaria, ja, indtil Jordens ende". "Og se, jeg er med jer alle dage indtil verdens ende". Apg. 1,8; Matt. 28,20.
