(Acts 1:3-10, NLT):
3. After his suffering and death, he appeared to them, and gave many convincing proofs that he was indeed alive. And he was with them for forty days, teaching them about the Kingdom of God.
4. And he gave them instructions not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for the gift he had promised, the gift of the Holy Spirit.
5. “For John baptized with water, but in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
6. So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?”
7. “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know,” he replied.
8. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere— in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
9. And when he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
10. And while they were gazing intently into the sky as he went, suddenly two men in white robes stood beside them.
