Acts 1:2-11

2until that day in which, having by the Holy Spirit charged the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;

3to whom also he presented himself living, after he had suffered, with many proofs; being seen by them during forty days, and speaking of the things which concern the kingdom of 1God;

4and, being assembled with [them], commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, which [said he] ye have heard of me.

5For John indeed baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit after now not many days.

6They therefore, being come together, asked him saying, Lord, is it at this time that thou restorest the kingdom to Israel?

7And he said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the Father has placed in his own authority;

8but ye will receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

9And having said these things he was taken up, they beholding [him], and a cloud received him out of their sight.

10And as they were gazing into heaven, as he was going, behold, also two men stood by them in white clothing,

11who also said, Men of Galilee, why do ye stand looking into heaven? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall thus come in the manner in which ye have beheld him going into heaven.
