Acts 1:1-5 ▼

1 The first account, indeed, I made concerning all the things, O Theophilus, that Jesus began both to do and to teach,

2 until the day in which, having given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom He chose, He was taken up,

3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, with many convincing proofs, being seen by them through forty days and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God.

4 And being assembled together, He instructed them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father: “That which you? heard of Me;

5 for John indeed baptized with water, but you? will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days after these.”
