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 baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days after these.”
6 So indeed those having come together were asking Him, saying, “Lord, at this time are you restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
7 And He said to them, “It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father put in place by His own authority.
8 But you will receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you, and you will be witnesses for Me, both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.”
9 And having said these things, they beholding, He was lifted up, and a cloud hid Him from their eyes.
10 And as they were looking intently into heaven as He was going, then behold, two men in white apparel stood by them,
11 who also said, “Men, Galileans, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, having been taken up from you into heaven, will thus come in that manner you beheld Him going into heaven.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, holding a Sabbath day’s journey.
