You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached—how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. Acts 10:37-38
“Jesus appears as the benefactor of the world, carrying out God’s work of salvation and sustenance. In a similar way the disciples continue the works of Jesus to heal and to minister.”
