Acts:1:1-11

*
The former treatise I have made ,
O Theophilus ,
of all that Jesus began both to do and teach ,
*
until the day in which ,
having given commandments by [
the ]
Holy Spirit unto the apostles whom he had chosen ,
he was received on high ;
*
unto whom he also showed himself alive ,
after he had suffered ,
by many infallible proofs ,
appearing unto them for forty days and speaking to them of the kingdom of God ;
*
and gathering them together ,
he commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem ,
but wait for the promise of the Father ,
Which , [
he said ],
ye have heard of me .
*
For John truly baptized in water ,
but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now .
*
Then those that were come together asked of him ,
saying ,
Lord ,
wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel ?
*
And he said unto them ,
It is not for you to know the times or the seasons ,
which the Father has put under his authority only .
*
But ye shall receive the virtue of the Holy Spirit which shall come upon you ,
and ye shall be 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 these things ,
while they beheld ,
he was taken up ;
and a cloud received him out of their sight .
*
And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up ,
behold ,
two men stood by them in white apparel ,
*
who also said ,
Ye men of Galilee ,
what do ye stand gazing at [
up ]
into heaven ?
This same Jesus ,
who is taken up from you into heaven ,
shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven .
