Acts 1:1–11

^*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 Judaea, 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.
