Acts 1:2-11

2untilG891 the dayG2250 when He 1was takenG353 upG353 to heaven, after He 2had givenG1781 ordersG1781 3by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 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 8things regardingG4012 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 14with waterG5204, but you will be baptizedG907 15with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 1617not manyG4183 daysG2250 from nowG3326G3778.”

6SoG3767, when they had comeG4905 togetherG4905, they began askingG2065 Him, sayingG3004, “LordG2962, 18is 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 19the FatherG3962 has setG5087 by His ownG2398 authorityG1849; 8but you will receiveG2983 powerG1411 20when the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 has comeG1904 upon you; and you shall be 21My witnessesG3144 bothG5037 in JerusalemG2419 and in allG3956 JudeaG2449, and 22SamariaG4540, and asG2193 farG2193 asG2193 23the remotestG2078 partG2078 of the earthG1093.” 9And after He had saidG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 24He was liftedG1869 upG1869 while they were watchingG991, and a cloudG3507 tookG5274 Him upG5274, out of their sightG3788. 10And as they were gazingG816 intentlyG816 into the skyG3772 while He was goingG4198, thenG2532 beholdG2400, 25twoG1417 menG435 in whiteG3022 clothingG2067 stoodG3936 besideG3936 them, 11and they saidG3004, “26MenG435 of GalileeG1057, whyG5101 do you standG2476 lookingG991 into the skyG3772? ThisG3778 JesusG2424, who 27has been takenG353 upG353 from you into heavenG3772, will 28comeG2064 in the sameG5158 wayG5158 as you have watchedG2300 Him goG4198 into heavenG3772.”
