Acts 1:6-11

New International Version

⁶ Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore^(A) the kingdom to Israel?”

⁷ He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.^{(B) 8} But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;^(C) and you will be my witnesses^(D) in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,^(E) and to the ends of the earth.”^(F)

⁹ After he said this, he was taken up^(G) before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

¹⁰ They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white^(H) stood beside them. ¹¹ “Men of Galilee,”^(I) they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back^(J) in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
