Acts 1:1-9

1The firstG4413 accountG3056 I 1composedG4160, 2TheophilusG2321, aboutG4012 allG3956 that JesusG2424 3beganG757 to doG4160 and teachG1321, 2untilG891 the dayG2250 when He 4was takenG353 up to heaven, after He 5had 6by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 givenG1781 ordersG1781 to 7the apostlesG652 whomG3739 He had 8chosenG1586. 3To 9theseG3739 10He alsoG2532 presentedG3936 HimselfG1438 aliveG2198 afterG3326 His sufferingG3958, by manyG4183 convincingG5039 proofsG5039, appearingG3700 to them overG1223 a period of fortyG5065 daysG2250 and speakingG3004 of 11the things concerningG4012 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 412GatheringG4871 them togetherG4871, He commandedG3853 them 13not to leaveG5563 JerusalemG2414, but to waitG4037 for 1415what the FatherG3962 had promisedG1860, “WhichG3739,” He said, “you heardG191 of from Me; 5for 16JohnG2491 baptizedG907 with waterG5204, but you will be baptizedG907 17with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 1819not manyG4183 daysG2250 from nowG3326G3778.”

6SoG3767 when they had comeG4905 togetherG4905, they were askingG2065 Him, sayingG3004, “LordG2962, 20is it at thisG3778 timeG5550 You are restoringG600 the kingdomG932 to IsraelG2474?” 7He saidG3004 to them, “It is not for you to knowG1097 timesG5550 orG2228 epochsG2540 whichG3739 21the FatherG3962 has fixedG5087 by His ownG2398 authorityG1849; 8but you will receiveG2983 powerG1411 22when the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 has comeG1904 upon you; and you shall be 23My witnessesG3144 bothG5037 in JerusalemG2419, and in allG3956 JudeaG2453 and 24SamariaG4540, and evenG2193 to 25the remotestG2078 partG2078 of the earthG1093.” 9And after He had saidG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 26He was liftedG1869 up while they were lookingG991 on, and a cloudG3507 receivedG5274 Him out of their sightG3788.
