Acts: The Unhindered Harvest

Acts 1: 12 -17 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.

When they had entered the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying; that is, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

At this time Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren (a gathering of about one hundred and twenty persons was there together), and said,
