In My name they will cast out demons;
they will speak with new tongues;
they will take up serpents;
and if they drink anything deadly it will by no means hurt them;
they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.' "

But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.' "
