Acts 1
2 Ref Till the day when he was taken up to heaven after he had given his orders, through the Holy Spirit, to the Apostles of whom he had made selection:
3 Ref And to whom he gave clear and certain signs that he was living, after his death; for he was seen by them for forty days, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God:
4 Ref And when they were all together, with him, he gave them orders not to go away from Jerusalem, but to keep there, waiting till the word of the Father was put into effect, of which, he said, I have given you knowledge:
5 Ref For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time.
6 Ref So, when they were together, they said to him, Lord, will you at this time give back the kingdom to Israel?
7 Ref And he said to them, It is not for you to have knowledge of the time and the order of events which the Father has kept in his control.
8 Ref But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
9 Ref And when he had said these things, while they were looking, he was taken up, and went from their view into a cloud.
10 Ref And while they were looking up to heaven with great attention, two men came to them, in white clothing,
11 Ref And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.
12 Ref Then they went back to Jerusalem from the mountain named Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
13 Ref And when they came in, they went up into the room where they were living; Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas, the son of James.
14 Ref And they all with one mind gave themselves up to prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
