Acts 1:1-9

1The former treatise I madeG4160, O TheophilusG2321, concerningG4012 all that JesusG2424 beganG757 both to do and to teachG1321, 2until the dayG2250 in which he was received up, after that he had givenG1781 commandment through the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 unto the apostlesG652 whom he had chosen: 3to whom he alsoG2532 showed himself aliveG2198 after his passion by manyG4183 proofs, appearingG3700 unto them by the space of fortyG5062 daysG2250, and speakingG3004 the thingsG4183 concerningG4012 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316: 4and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from JerusalemG2414, but to wait for the promiseG1860 of the FatherG3962, which, said he, ye heardG191 from me: 5for JohnG2491 indeedG3303 baptizedG907 with waterG5204; but ye shall be baptizedG907 in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 not manyG4183 daysG2250 hence.

6They thereforeG3767, when they were comeG4905 togetherG4905, askedG2065 him, sayingG3004, LordG2962, dost thou at this timeG5550 restore the kingdomG932 to IsraelG2474? 7And he saidG3004 unto them, It isG1510 not for you to knowG1097 timesG2540 or seasonsG2540, which the FatherG3962 hath setG5087 within his ownG2398 authorityG1849. 8But ye shall receiveG2983 powerG1411, when the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 isG1510 come upon you: and ye shall beG1510 my witnessesG3144 both in JerusalemG2419, and in all Judæa and SamariaG4540, and unto the uttermost part of the earthG1093. 9And when he had saidG3004 these thingsG3778, as they were lookingG991, he was taken up; and a cloudG3507 received him out of their sight.
