Acts:1:1-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The former treatise have I made (
5668 ),
O Theophilus ,
of all that Jesus began (
5662 )
both to do (
5721 )
and teach (
5721 ),
*
Until the day in which he was taken up (
5681 ),
after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments (
5674 )
unto the apostles whom he had chosen (
5668 ):
*
To whom also he shewed (
5656 )
himself alive (
5723 )
after his passion (
5629 )
by many infallible proofs ,
being seen (
5740 )
of them forty days ,
and speaking (
5723 )
of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God :
*
And ,
being assembled together (
5740 )
with them ,
commanded (
5656 )
them that they should not depart (
5745 )
from Jerusalem ,
but wait (
5721 )
for the promise of the Father ,
which ,
saith he ,
ye have heard (
5656 )
of me .
*
For John truly baptized (
5656 )
with water ;
but ye shall be baptized (
5701 )
with the Holy Ghost not many days hence .
*
When they therefore were come together (
5631 ),
they asked (
5707 )
of him ,
saying (
5723 ),
Lord ,
wilt thou at this time restore again (
5719 )
the kingdom to Israel ?
*
And he said (
5627 )
unto them ,
It is (
5748 )
not for you to know (
5629 )
the times or the seasons ,
which the Father hath put (
5639 )
in his own power .
*
But ye shall receive (
5695 )
power ,
after that the Holy Ghost is come (
5631 )
upon you :
and ye shall be (
5704 )
witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem ,
and in all Judaea ,
and in Samaria ,
and unto the uttermost part of the earth .
*
And when he had spoken (
5631 )
these things ,
while they beheld (
5723 ),
he was taken up (
5681 );
and a cloud received (
5627 )
him out of their sight .
