Acts 1:4-8
English Standard Version
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.”

Acts 1:4-8
International Standard Version
The Promise of the Holy Spirit
4 While he was meeting with them, he ordered them, “Don’t leave Jerusalem. Instead, wait for what the Father has promised, about which you heard me speak, 5 because John baptized with[a] water, but you will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit a few days from now.”
6 Now those who had gathered together began to ask Jesus,[c] “Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He answered them, “It isn’t for you to know what times or periods the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you’ll receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you’ll be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
