Acts 1:2-14

MSTC(i) 2 until the day in the which he was taken up; after that he, through the holy ghost, had given commandments unto the apostles, which he had chosen: 3 to whom also he showed himself alive, after his passion, by many tokens; appearing unto them forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God; 4 and gathered them together, and commanded them, that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but to "Wait for the promise of the father, whereof ye have heard of me. 5 For John baptised with water but ye shall be baptised with the holy ghost, and that within this few days." 6 When they were come together, they asked of him, saying, "Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?" 7 And he said unto them, "It is not for you to know the times, or the seasons which the father hath put in his own power: 8 but ye shall receive power of the holy ghost which shall come on you. And ye shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Jewry, and in Samaria, and even unto the world's end." 9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up: and a cloud received him up out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly up to heaven, as he went; behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 which also said, "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, even as ye have seen him go into heaven." 12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from Mount Olivet, which is nigh to Jerusalem, containing a Sabbath day's journey. 13 And when they were come in, they went up into a parlour, where abode both Peter and James, John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon Zealotes, and Judas James' son. 14 These all continued with one accord, in prayer, and supplication with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
