Matthew Poole and continuators on Mark 16:20

20 And they went forth and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Here is now the History of a great deal of following time, shortly Epitomized in one Verse. The first motion of the Eleven was to Ierusalem, Luke 24.52. and this was according to the express command of Christ, v. 49. There they were continually in the Temple Praising and Blessing God. v. 53. Acts 1.12, 13. At Ierusalem they went into an upper Room. There they continued with one accord in Prayer and Supplications, v. 14. and chose Mathias for the twelfth Apostle, Acts 2. The Holy Ghost came upon them, still they continued Preaching to the Jews, till Acts 13.46. The Iews by their Vnbelief and Persecution judging themselves unworthy of Eternal Life, they turned to the Gentiles of God confirming their Word, that is, his Word spoken by them with Signs following. The whole History of the Acts of the Apostles is an abundant Proof.
