Acts 1:1-8

¶“1I did the first account for you Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and teach 2until the day he was taken up, having given orders by the Holy Spirit to the messengers he had chosen. 3And he showed himself alive to them by many proofs, being seen by them forty days after he had suffered, and he spoke about the kingdom of God.” (Acts 1:1-3).

¶“4When they gathered, he ordered them not to leave Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father which 'You heard from me'. 5John indeed immersed with water, but you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit not many days from now ” (Acts 1:4-5).

¶“6Those who were gathered asked him this question: 'Lord, is it at this time that you restore the kingdom to Israel?'  7Jesus said to them, 'It is not yours to know the times or seasons which the Father has appointed in his own authority 8But you will receive your authority when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, then in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth' ” (Acts 1:6-8).
