Acts 1:1-3

ISV^{(i) 1} IntroductionIn my first book, Theophilus, I wrote about everything Jesus did and taught from the beginning, ² up to the day when he was taken up to heaven after giving orders by the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. ³ After he had suffered, he had shown himself alive to them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them during a period of 40 days and telling them about the kingdom of God.
