About this text: How the KJV differs from modern translations →
Jesus tells the apostles they will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes, and become his witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria — and to the ends of the earth. The rest of Acts follows exactly that expansion.
This is the King James Version (1611) — the classic English translation, in the public domain and free to read and quote.
