Text[3]='&nbsp;4. Then Jesus began to rise into heaven. As the apostles kept watching Jesus, a cloud finally hid Him from view. Then two angels told the apostles that Jesus would come back some day but that now the apostles should go to Jerusalem just as Jesus had asked them to do.';

Text[5]='&nbsp;6. Ten days after Jesus had left them, the apostles were all together in one place in Jerusalem.';
Text[6]='&nbsp;7. Suddenly there was a sound from heaven like a rushing wind. Tongues like flames of fire rested on each of them and they were filled with the Holy Spirit just as Jesus had promised. The Holy Spirit gave the apostles power to speak in languages they had never studied.';
Text[7]='&nbsp;8. People from many other countries were living at Jerusalem. When they heard the sound, they came to see what was happening.';

Text[10]='&nbsp;11. As the apostles stood up together, Peter told the crowd that the apostles were not drunk but that they were filled with the Holy Spirit. Peter explained that God had said many years ago that this would happen. Then he began to tell them about Jesus.';

Text[12]='&nbsp;13. He told them that God had raised Jesus up from the dead just as He had promised.';
Text[13]='&nbsp;14. Then Peter told them how Jesus had gone back into heaven to be with His Father. Peter had actually watched Jesus go to heaven only ten days before.';
Text[14]='&nbsp;15. Peter used the Scriptures to prove to these people that the Jesus whom they had killed was really God\'s Son. He told them that Jesus was now in heaven sitting at God\'s right hand.';
Text[15]='&nbsp;16. When the people heard what they had done, they were sorry and they asked Peter and the other apostles, "What shall we do?"';
Text[16]='&nbsp;17. Peter answered, "Repent, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."';
Text[17]='&nbsp;18. As Peter kept on talking to the people he told them again and again that they needed to be saved. About 3,000 of the people decided to do what Peter said and they were baptized.';
