⁶They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were questioning him, saying, ‘Lord, dost thou at this time restore the reign to Israel?’ ⁷and he said unto them, ‘It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father did appoint in His own authority; ⁸but ye shall receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit upon you, and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the end of the earth.’ ⁹And these things having said—they beholding—he was taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight; ¹⁰and as they were looking stedfastly to the heaven in his going on, then, lo, two men stood by them in white apparel, ¹¹who also said, ‘Men, Galileans, why do ye stand gazing into the heaven? this Jesus who was received up from you into the heaven, shall so come in what manner ye saw him going on to the heaven.’

¹²Then did they return to Jerusalem from the mount that is called of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a sabbath’s journey; ¹³and when they came in, they went up to the upper room, where were abiding both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James, of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zelotes, and Judas, of James; ¹⁴these all were continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
