Acts 1:4-12

41Gathering them together, He commanded them 2not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for 34what the Father had promised, “Which,” He said, “you heard of from Me; 5for 5John baptized with water, but you will be baptized 6with the Holy Spirit 78not many days from now.”

6So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, “Lord, 9is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” 7He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which 10the Father has fixed by His own authority; 8but you will receive power 11when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be 12My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and 13Samaria, and even to 14the remotest part of the earth.” 9And after He had said these things, 15He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10And as they were gazing intently into 16the sky while He was going, behold, 17two men in white clothing stood beside them. 11They also said, “18Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into 19the sky? This Jesus, who 20has been taken up from you into heaven, will 21come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

12Then they 22returned to Jerusalem from the 2324mount called 25Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a 26Sabbath day’s journey away.
