1 Indeed, O Theophilus, I made the first report concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 until the day He was taken up, having given directions to the apostles whom He chose, through the Holy Spirit,
3 to whom also He presented Himself living after His suffering, by many infallible proofs, being seen by them through forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God.
4 And having met with them, He charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, "which you heard of Me;
5 for John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days after."
6 Then, indeed, coming together they questioned Him, saying, Lord, do You restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?
7 And He said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons which the Father placed in His own authority;
8 but you will receive power, the Holy Spirit coming upon you, and you will be witnesses of Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
9 And saying these things, as they looked on, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him from their eyes.
