Judges - Chapter 14

We read in this chapter events in the life of Samson.  On two occasions we are told that the Spirit of the Lord came upon him in power.  On the first occasion he tore apart a lion that was roaring towards him, with his bare hands.  on the second occasion he struck down 30 of the men of Ashkelon, and stripped them of their belongings.

In the first chapter of Acts we read about Jesus, just before he is taken up to heaven.  He says to his disciples "you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witness in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
