⁵For ^jJohn truly baptized with water; but ye shall be ^j^kbaptized 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.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
