Acts 1:5-14

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.

12Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called [the mount] of Olives, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath-day's journey off.

13And when they were come into [the city], they went up to the upper chamber, where were staying both Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [son] of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Jude [the brother] of James.

14These gave themselves all with one accord to continual prayer, with [several] women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
