to thee?

disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is

The
Acts of the Apostles
CHAPTER 1
The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2
Until
the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments
unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
3
To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion
by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to
the kingdom of God:
4
And, being assembled together with
them,
commanded them that they should
not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father,
which,
saith he,
ye have heard
of me.
5
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many
days hence.
6
When they therefore 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,
after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem,
and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
9
And when he had
spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10
And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, 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 in like manner as ye have seen
him go into heaven.
12
Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is
from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
13
And when they were come in, they went up into an
upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas,
Bartholomew, and Matthew, James
the son
of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas
the brother
of James.
14
These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and
Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
