Acts 1:5-8
1599 Geneva Bible
5 (A)For John indeed baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized [a]with the holy Ghost within these few days.
6 [b]When they therefore were come together they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time [c]restore the kingdom to Israel?
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times, or the [d]seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 (B)But ye shall receive power of the holy Ghost, when he shall come on you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
