Give it the ole college try!!

Here's one of my assignments for Chapter 2:

Find a minimum of 30 observations in the following verse:

Acts 1:8: " But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

A little explanation of the process...observations are different then interpretations. For instance, you can make the observation that the verse starts with the word 'but' which indicates it is a contrast to the previous verse(s). But if you say that the Holy Spirit empowers people for evangelism then that is considered an interpretation. Hmmm. In this assignment I am only to concern myself with what the verse says...not what the verse means. Simply making observations.

So far I have 21...but I have to have a minimum of 30. Wow...now I know why I didn't finish college.....
