一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 使徒行傳 1:4-5 Acts
4 耶穌和他們聚集的時候,囑咐他們說:「不要離開耶路撒冷,要等候父所應許的,就是你們聽見我說過的。 5 約翰是用水施洗,但不多幾日,你們要受聖靈的洗。」
4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
