Acts 1:1-6

¹The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, of all things which Jesus began to do and to teach,

²Until the day on which, giving commandments by the Holy Ghost to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up.

³To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion, by many proofs, for forty days appearing to them, and speaking of the kingdom of God.

⁴And eating together with them, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but should wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard (saith he) by my mouth.

⁵For John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost, not many days hence.

⁶They therefore who were come together, asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
