³ Going on eastward with a measuring line in his hand, ^(A)the man measured a thousand cubits,^[a] and then led me through the water, and it was ankle-deep.

³ When he brought me there, behold, there was ^(A)a man whose appearance was ^(B)like bronze, with ^(C)a linen cord and ^(D)a measuring reed in his hand. And he was standing in the gateway.

¹⁵ And the one who spoke with me ^(A)had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls.

The Two Witnesses

11 Then I was given ^(A)a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, “Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there,

¹⁶ And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ^(A)‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ ¹⁷ If then ^(B)God gave ^(C)the same gift to them as he gave to us ^(D)when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, ^(E)who was I ^(F)that I could stand in God's way?” ¹⁸ When they heard these things they fell silent. And they ^(G)glorified God, saying, ^(H)“Then to the Gentiles also God has ^(I)granted ^(J)repentance that leads to life.”

⁴⁵ And the believers from among ^(A)the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because ^(B)the gift of the Holy Spirit ^(C)was poured out even on the Gentiles. ⁴⁶ For they were hearing them ^(D)speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared,

^33 (A)Being therefore ^(B)exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from ^(C)the Father ^(D)the promise of the Holy Spirit, ^(E)he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.

⁴ And they were all ^(A)filled with the Holy Spirit and began ^(B)to speak in other tongues ^(C)as the Spirit gave them utterance.

⁴⁹ And behold, I am sending ^(A)the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you ^(B)are clothed with ^(C)power ^(D)from on high.”
