Acts 1:1-11
New King James Version (NKJV)

Prologue
1 The former account 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 He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to
the apostles whom He had chosen, 3 to
whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being
seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of
God.

The Holy Spirit Promised
4 And
being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from
Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from
Me; 5 for John truly baptized with
water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from
now.” 6 Therefore, when they had come
together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to
Israel?” 7 And He said to them, “It is
not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own
authority. 8 But you shall
receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to
Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end
of the earth.”
Jesus Ascends to Heaven
9 Now when
He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of
their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as
He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also
said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus,
who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into
heaven.”
