<p>16:17 <i>And these signs shall accompany them that believe- in my name shall they cast out demons, they shall speak with new tongues-</i> All the &quot;they shall&quot; clauses in :17 and :18 were fulfilled in various examples of Divine protection to the early preachers of the Gospel. &quot;If they drink any deadly thing...&quot; is worded in a conditional way, and we have no Biblical example of this happening, although traditions exist of various apostles being unharmed by poison.</p>
