Acts 1 · Grade 3

Witnesses to the Ends of the Earth

Name Date

Read the Story

The book of Acts begins by speaking to a man named Theophilus. It reminds him of the first book, which told what Jesus did and taught. After Jesus suffered and rose, he showed himself alive to the apostles for forty days.

Jesus told them not to leave Jerusalem. They were to wait for the promise of the Father. John baptized in water, but they would be baptized in the Holy Spirit in a few days.

The apostles asked if Jesus would now restore the kingdom to Israel. Jesus said it was not for them to know the times. Instead they would receive power when the Holy Spirit came. They would be his witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

While they watched, Jesus was taken up, and a cloud hid him. Two men in white clothes stood by them. They said this Jesus would come back in the same way. The followers, with Mary the mother of Jesus and his brothers, kept praying together. Then they chose Matthias to take a place among the twelve.
