Riverside(i)
3 By many proofs he revealed himself to these men as still alive after his sufferings; for he was seen by them for forty days and spoke of things relating to the kingdom of God.
4 Also while eating with them, he charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, "which," said he, "you have heard from me.
5 For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days hence."
6 When they came together, they asked him, "Master, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"
7 He said to them, "It is not yours to know the times and seasons which the Father has put under his own authority.
8 But you will receive power after the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem and in all Judaea and in Samaria and to the ends of the earth."
9 He said this and then, while they were looking on, he was taken up and a cloud lifted him from their sight.
10 They were gazing into the sky as he went, when suddenly two men in white robes were standing beside them
11 and said, "Men of Galilee, why are you standing and looking up into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way that you have seen him go into heaven."
12 They then returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called the Olive Orchard, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey distant.
13 When they came into the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying. There were Peter and John, and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
14 All of these continued earnestly and unitedly in prayer with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus and with his brothers.
