Acts 1:8-12
8but you will receive power 1when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be 2My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and 3Samaria, and even to 4the remotest part of the earth.” 9And after He had said these things, 5He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10And as they were gazing intently into 6the sky while He was going, behold, 7two men in white clothing stood beside them. 11They also said, “8Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into 9the sky? This Jesus, who 10has been taken up from you into heaven, will 11come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”
12Then they 12returned to Jerusalem from the 1314mount called 15Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a 16Sabbath day’s journey away.
