Acts 1:1-11

[1] Theophilus, I first wrote to you about all that Jesus did and taught from the very first [2] until he was taken up to heaven. But before he was taken up, he gave orders to the apostles he had chosen with the help of the Holy Spirit. [3] For forty days after Jesus had suffered and died, he proved in many ways that he had been raised from death. He appeared to his apostles and spoke to them about God's kingdom. [4] While he was still with them, he said: Don't leave Jerusalem yet. Wait here for the Father to give you the Holy Spirit, just as I told you he has promised to do. [5] John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.
