Acts 1:2-11

2untilG891 theG3739 dayG2250 He was taken upG353 to heaven, after giving instructionsG1781 throughG1223 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 to theG3588 apostlesG652 He had chosenG1586. 3AfterG3326 HisG846 sufferingG3958, He presentedG3936 HimselfG1438 toG3739 them withG1722 manyG4183 convincing proofsG5039 that He was aliveG2198. He appearedG3700 to themG846 overG1223 a span of fortyG5062 daysG2250 andG2532 spokeG3004 aboutG4012 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316.

4AndG2532 while they were gathered togetherG4871,1 He commandedG3853 themG846: “Do not leaveG3361G5563G575 JerusalemG2414, butG235 wait forG4037 theG3588 gift theG3588 FatherG3962 promisedG1860, whichG3739 you have heardG191 MeG1473 discuss. 5ForG3754G3303 JohnG2491 baptizedG907 with waterG5204, butG1161 in a fewG3756G4183 daysG2250 youG4771 will be baptizedG907 withG1722 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.2”

6SoG3767 when theyG3588 came togetherG4905, they askedG2065 HimG846, “LordG2962, will You atG1722 thisG3778 timeG5550 restoreG1487G600 theG3588 kingdomG932 to IsraelG2474?”

Jesus repliedG2036G4314G846, “It isG1510 notG3756 for youG4771 to knowG1097 timesG5550 orG2228 seasonsG2540 thatG3739 theG3588 FatherG3962 has fixedG5087 byG1722 His ownG2398 authorityG1849. 8ButG235 you will receiveG2983 powerG1411 when theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 comesG1904 uponG1909 youG4771, andG2532 you will beG1510 MyG1473 witnessesG3144 inG1722 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 inG1722 allG3956 JudeaG2449 andG2532 SamariaG4540, andG2532 toG2193 the endsG2078 of theG3588 earthG1093.”

9After He had saidG2036 thisG3778, theyG846 watched asG991 He was taken upG1869, andG2532 a cloudG3507 hidG5274 HimG846 fromG575 theirG846 sightG3788. 10They wereG1510 looking intentlyG816 intoG1519 theG3588 skyG3772 as HeG846 was goingG4198, when suddenlyG2400 twoG1417 menG435 dressedG2066 inG1722 whiteG3022 stood besideG3936 themG846. 11“MenG435 of GalileeG1057,” they saidG2036, “whyG5101 do you standG2476 here lookingG991 intoG1519 theG3588 skyG3772? ThisG3778 same JesusG2424, whoG3588 has been takenG353 fromG575 youG4771 intoG1519 heavenG3772, will come backG2064 in the same wayG3739G5158 you have seenG2300 HimG846 goG4198 intoG1519 heavenG3772.”
