Acts 1:2-11

2untilG891 the dayG2250 when He 1was takenG353 up to heaven, after He 2had 3by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 givenG1781 ordersG1781 to 4the apostlesG652 whomG3739 He had 5chosenG1586. 3To 6theseG3739 7He alsoG2532 presentedG3936 HimselfG1438 aliveG2198 afterG3326 His sufferingG3958, by manyG4183 convincingG5039 proofsG5039, appearingG3700 to them overG1223 a period of fortyG5065 daysG2250 and speakingG3004 of 8the things concerningG4012 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 49GatheringG4871 them togetherG4871, He commandedG3853 them 10not to leaveG5563 JerusalemG2414, but to waitG4037 for 1112what the FatherG3962 had promisedG1860, “WhichG3739,” He said, “you heardG191 of from Me; 5for 13JohnG2491 baptizedG907 with waterG5204, but you will be baptizedG907 14with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 1516not manyG4183 daysG2250 from nowG3326G3778.”

6SoG3767 when they had comeG4905 togetherG4905, they were askingG2065 Him, sayingG3004, “LordG2962, 17is 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 18the FatherG3962 has fixedG5087 by His ownG2398 authorityG1849; 8but you will receiveG2983 powerG1411 19when the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 has comeG1904 upon you; and you shall be 20My witnessesG3144 bothG5037 in JerusalemG2419, and in allG3956 JudeaG2453 and 21SamariaG4540, and evenG2193 to 22the remotestG2078 partG2078 of the earthG1093.” 9And after He had saidG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 23He was liftedG1869 up while they were lookingG991 on, and a cloudG3507 receivedG5274 Him out of their sightG3788. 10And as they were gazingG816 intentlyG816 into 24the skyG3772 while He was goingG4198, beholdG2400, 25twoG1417 menG435 in whiteG3022 clothingG2067 stoodG3936 besideG3936 them. 11They alsoG2532 saidG3004, “26MenG435 of GalileeG1057, whyG5101 do you standG2476 lookingG991 into 27the skyG3772? ThisG3778 JesusG2424, who 28has been takenG353 up from you into heavenG3772, will 29comeG2064 in justG3779 the sameG5158 wayG5158 as you have watchedG2300 Him goG4198 into heavenG3772.”
