5. For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

6. So when they had come together, they began asking him, saying, “Lord, is it at this time you are restoring the kingdom to Israel?”

7. But he said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has set by his own authority.

8. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth.”

9. And after he had said these things, while they were watching, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their sight.

10. And as they were staring into the sky while he was departing, behold, two men in white clothing stood by them

11. who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand there looking into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven like this will come back in the same way you saw him departing into heaven!”
