Acts 1:1-11

Diaglott(i) 1 The indeed first account I made concerning all things, O Theophilus, which began the Jesus to do and also to teach, 2 even to which day, having given charge to the apostles, through spirit holy whom he chose, he was taken up. 3 To whom also he presented himself living after the to suffer him, in many clear proofs, through days forty being seen by them, and saying the things concerning the kingdom of the God. 4 And assembling them he command them, from Jerusalem not to depart, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me; 5 that John indeed dipped in water, you but shall be dipped in spirit holy, not after many these days. 6 They indeed therefore having come together, asked him; saying: O lord, if in the time this thou restorest the kingdom to the Israel? 7 He said and to them: Not for you it is to know times or seasons, which the Father placed in the own authority. 8 But you shall receive power having come the holy spirit upon you; and you shall be to me witnesses in both Jerusalem, and in all the Judea and in Samaria, and even to farthest part of the land. 9 And these things having said, beholding of them he was lifted up; and a cloud withdrew him from the eyes of them. 10 And as fixedly gazing they were into the heaven, going away of him, and lo, men two were standing by them in raiment white, 11 they and said: Men of Galilee, why stand you looking into the heaven? this the Jesus, he being taken up from you into the heaven, thus will come, which manner you saw him going into the heaven.
