New American Standard Bible
6 So, when they had come together, they began asking Him, saying, “Lord, (A)is it at this time that You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” 7 But He said to them, “It is not for you to know periods of time or appointed times which (B)the Father has set by His own authority; 8 but you will receive power (C)when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be (D)My witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and (E)Samaria, and as far as (F)the remotest part of the earth.”
The Ascension
9 And after He had said these things, (G)He was lifted up while they were watching, and a cloud took Him up, out of their sight. 10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, then behold, (H)two men in white clothing stood beside them, 11 and they said, “(I)Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who (J)has been taken up from you into heaven, will (K)come in the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”
The Upper Room
12 Then they (L)returned to Jerusalem from the [a](M)mountain called [b]Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a [c]Sabbath day’s journey away. 13 When they had entered the city, they went up to (N)the upstairs room where they were staying, that is, (O)Peter, John, [d]James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, [e]James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and (P)Judas the [f]son of [g]James. 14 All these (Q)were continually devoting themselves with one [h]mind to prayer, along with (R)the women, and Mary the (S)mother of Jesus, and with His (T)brothers.
15 [i]At this time Peter stood up among (U)the brothers and sisters (a group of about 120 [j]people was there together), and said,

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.”
Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas
12 Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem(K) from the hill called the Mount of Olives,(L) a Sabbath day’s walk[a] from the city. 13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room(M) where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.(N) 14 They all joined together constantly in prayer,(O) along with the women(P) and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.(Q)
15 In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty)

6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)
