Acts 1:4-9

New King James Version

The Holy Spirit Promised

^4 (A)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 ^(B)heard from Me; ^5 (C)for John truly baptized with water, ^(D)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, ^(E)“It is not for you to ^(F)know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. ^8 (G)But you shall receive power ^(H)when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and ^(I)you shall be ^[a]witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and ^(J)Samaria, and to the ^(K)end of the earth.”

^9 (M)Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, ^(N)He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
