• Acts 1:2-9 : 2 Until the day when He was taken up, after He had through the Holy Spirit given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen: 3 To whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many convincing proofs, being seen by them for forty days and speaking of things pertaining to the kingdom of God: 4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, He said, you have heard from Me. 5 For John truly baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now. 6 When they came together, they asked Him, saying, Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? 7 And He said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in His own authority. 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. 9 And when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 Who also said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven?
