Acts 1:8-14

8but you will receiveG2983 powerG1411 1when the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 has comeG1904 upon you; and you shall be 2My witnessesG3144 bothG5037 in JerusalemG2419 and in allG3956 JudeaG2449, and 3SamariaG4540, and asG2193 farG2193 asG2193 4the remotestG2078 partG2078 of the earthG1093.” 9And after He had saidG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 5He 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, 6twoG1417 menG435 in whiteG3022 clothingG2067 stoodG3936 besideG3936 them, 11and they saidG3004, “7MenG435 of GalileeG1057, whyG5101 do you standG2476 lookingG991 into the skyG3772? ThisG3778 JesusG2424, who 8has been takenG353 upG353 from you into heavenG3772, will 9comeG2064 in the sameG5158 wayG5158 as you have watchedG2300 Him goG4198 into heavenG3772.”

12ThenG5119 they 10returnedG5290 to JerusalemG2419 from the 1112mountainG3735 calledG2564 13OlivetG1638, whichG3739 is nearG1451 JerusalemG2419, a 14SabbathG4521 day’s journeyG3598 away. 13WhenG3753 they had enteredG1525 the city, they wentG305 upG305 to 15the upstairsG5253 roomG5253 whereG3757 they were stayingG2650, that is, 16PeterG4074, JohnG2491, 17JamesG2385, and AndrewG406, PhilipG5376 and ThomasG2381, BartholomewG918 and MatthewG3102, 18JamesG2385 the son of AlphaeusG256, SimonG4613 the ZealotG2208, and 19JudasG2455 the 20son of 21JamesG2385. 14AllG3956 theseG3778 22were continuallyG4342 devotingG4342 themselvesG4342 with oneG3661 23mindG3661 to prayerG4335, alongG4862 with 24the womenG1135, and MaryG3137 the 25motherG3384 of JesusG2424, and with His 26brothersG80.
