Jesus Ascends to Heaven
1:1 I wrote the former account , Theophilus , about all that Jesus began to do and teach
1:2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after he had given orders by the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen .
1:3 To the same apostles also , after his suffering , he presented himself alive with many convincing proofs . He was seen by them over a forty-day period and spoke about matters concerning the kingdom of God .
1:4 While he was with them , he declared , “Do not leave Jerusalem , but wait there for what my Father promised , which you heard about from me .
1:5 For John baptized with water , but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
1:6 So when they had gathered together , they began to ask him , “Lord , is this the time when you are restoring the kingdom to Israel ?”
