LEB(i)
3 to whom he also presented himself alive after he suffered, with many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking the things about the kingdom of God.
4 And while he* was with* them,* he commanded them, "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for what was promised by the Father, which you heard about from me.
5 For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit ⌊not many days from now⌋."*
6 So when* they had come together, they began asking* him, saying, "Lord, is it at this time you are restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
7 But he said to them, "It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has set by his own authority.
8 But you will receive power when* the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth."
9 And after he* had said these things, while* they were watching, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their sight.
10 And as they were staring into the sky while* he was departing, behold, two men in white clothing stood by them
11 who also said, "Men ⌊of Galilee⌋,* why do you stand there looking* into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven like this will come back in the same way you saw him departing into heaven!"
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain that is called Olive Grove* which is near Jerusalem, ⌊a Sabbath day's journey away⌋.*
13 And when they had entered, they went up to the upstairs room where they were staying—Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas son of James.
14 All these were busily engaged with one mind in prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus and with* his brothers.
