²¹ Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that ^(A)the Lord Jesus went in and out ^[a]among us— ^22 (B)beginning ^[b]with the baptism of John until the day that He ^(C)was taken up from us—one of these must become a ^(D)witness with us of His resurrection.”

^38 [a]You know of ^(A)Jesus of Nazareth, how God ^(B)anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, ^[b](C)and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for ^(D)God was with Him. ³⁹ We are ^(E)witnesses of all the things He did both in the ^[c]land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also ^(F)put Him to death by hanging Him on a ^[d]cross. ^40 (G)God raised Him up on the third day and granted that He become visible, ^41 (H)not to all the people, but to ^(I)witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us ^(J)who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.

Paul’s Use of Liberty

9 Am I not ^(A)free? Am I not an ^(B)apostle? Have I not ^(C)seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not ^(D)my work in the Lord?
