Acts 1:1-5 ▼

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

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

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

4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, “Which you heard from Me;

5 because John, indeed, immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit not many days after these.”
