1The firstG4413 accountG3056 I 1composedG4160, 2TheophilusG2321, aboutG4012 allG3956 that JesusG2424 3beganG757 to doG4160 and teachG1321, 2untilG891 the dayG2250 when He 4was takenG353 upG353 to heaven, after He 5had givenG1781 ordersG1781 6by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 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 11things regardingG4012 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 17with waterG5204, but you will be baptizedG907 18with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 1920not manyG4183 daysG2250 from nowG3326G3778.”

6SoG3767, when they had comeG4905 togetherG4905, they began askingG2065 Him, sayingG3004, “LordG2962, 21is it at thisG3778 timeG5550 that You are restoringG600 the kingdomG932 to IsraelG2474?” 7But He saidG3004 to them, “It is not for you to knowG1097 periodsG5550 ofG5550 timeG5550 orG2228 appointedG2540 timesG2540 whichG3739 22the FatherG3962 has setG5087 by His ownG2398 authorityG1849; 8but you will receiveG2983 powerG1411 23when the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 has comeG1904 upon you; and you shall be 24My witnessesG3144 bothG5037 in JerusalemG2419 and in allG3956 JudeaG2449, and 25SamariaG4540, and asG2193 farG2193 asG2193 26the remotestG2078 partG2078 of the earthG1093.”
