Acts 1:1–14

The former treatise have I made, O ^aTheophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, ²until the day in which ^bhe was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost ^chad given commandments unto the Apostles whom he had chosen: ^3dto whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many ^einfallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of ^fthe things pertaining to the kingdom of God: ⁴and, being assembled together with them, commanded them ^gthat they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for ^hthe promise of the Father, which, ⁱsaith he, ye have heard of me. ⁵For ^jJohn truly baptized with water; but ye shall be ^jkbaptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. ⁶When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time ^lrestore again the kingdom to Israel? ⁷And he said unto them, ^mIt is not for you to know ⁿthe times or the seasons, ^owhich the Father hath put in his own power. ⁸But ye shall receive ^ppower, ^qafter that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be ^rwitnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in ^sSamaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. ⁹And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, ^the was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. ¹⁰And while they ^ulooked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, ^vtwo ^wmen stood by them in ^xwhite apparel; ¹¹Which also said, ^yYe men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is ^btaken up from you into heaven, ^zshall ^aso come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. ¹²Then ^breturned they unto Jerusalem from ^cthe mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem ^da sabbath day’s journey. ¹³And when they were come in, they went up into ^ean upper room, where abode both ^fPeter, and James, and ^gJohn, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and ^hJudas ⁱthe brother of James. ¹⁴These all ^jcontinued ^kwith one accord in prayer and supplication, with ^lthe women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with ^mhis brethren.
