⁴ And while staying^[a] with them ^(A)he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; ⁵ for ^(B)John baptized with water, ^(C)but you will be baptized ^(D)with^[b] the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

The Ascension

⁶ So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, ^(E)will you at this time ^(F)restore the kingdom to Israel?” ⁷ He said to them, ^(G)“It is not for you to know ^(H)times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. ⁸ But you will receive ^(I)power ^(J)when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and ^(K)you will be ^(L)my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and ^(M)Samaria, and ^(N)to the end of the earth.”

Fire from Heaven

7 ^(A)As soon as Solomon finished his prayer, ^(B)fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, ^(C)and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. ² And the priests could not enter the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord filled the Lord's house. ³ When all the people of Israel saw the fire come down and the glory of the Lord on the temple, they bowed down with their faces to the ground on the pavement and worshiped and gave thanks to the Lord, saying, “For he is good, ^(D)for his steadfast love endures forever.”
