8 but YOU will receive power+ when the holy spirit arrives upon YOU, and YOU will be witnesses*+ of me both in Jerusalem+ and in all Ju·deʹa and Sa·marʹi·a+ and to the most distant part* of the earth.”+

18 For the speech about the torture stake is foolishness+ to those who are perishing,+ but to us who are being saved+ it is God’s power.+
