1In the first book, O ^aTheophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began ^bto do and teach, ²until the day when ^che was taken up, after he ^dhad given commands ^ethrough the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. ³^fHe presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

⁴And while staying¹ with them ^ghe ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; ⁵for ^hJohn baptized with water, ^hbut you will be baptized ⁱwith² the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

The Ascension

⁶So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, ^jwill you at this time ^krestore the kingdom to Israel?” ⁷He said to them, ^l“It is not for you to know ^mtimes or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. ⁸But you will receive ⁿpower ^owhen the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and ^pyou will be ^qmy witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and ^rSamaria, and ^sto the end of the earth.” ⁹And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, ^the was lifted up, and ^ua cloud took him out of their sight.

Read in Logos
