He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God {Theou}. 4 And while they were gathered together (eating together), He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem (city of peace), but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you⁺ have heard Me discuss. 5 For John (YHWH is gracious) baptized (submerged) with water, but in a few days you⁺ will be baptized with the Holy Spirit {Hagiō Pneumati}. 6 So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord {Kyrie}, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel (He wrestles with God)? 7 Jesus replied, “It is not for you⁺ to know times or seasons that the Father {Patēr} has fixed by His own authority.
