Acts 1:8–14

8 but you will receive power awhen the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be bMy witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and cSamaria, and even to dthe remotest part of the earth.”

The Ascension

9 And after He had said these things, aHe was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.

10 And as they were gazing intently into 1the sky while He was going, behold, atwo men in white clothing stood beside them.

11 They also said, “aMen of Galilee, why do you stand looking into 1the sky? This Jesus, who bhas been taken up from you into heaven, will ccome in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

The Upper Room

12 Then they areturned to Jerusalem from the 1bmount called 2Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a 3Sabbath day’s journey away.

13 When they had entered the city, they went up to athe upper room where they were staying; bthat is, Peter and John and 1James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, 1James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and cJudas the 2son of 1James.

14 These all with one mind awere continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with bthe women, and Mary the cmother of Jesus, and with His cbrothers.
