And [a]gathering them together, He commanded them (A)not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the (B)promise of the Father, “Which,” He said, “you heard of from Me; for [b](C)John baptized with water, but you will be baptized [c]with the Holy Spirit [d](D)not many days from now.”

So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, “Lord, (E)is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” But He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which (F)the Father has set by His own authority; but you will receive power (G)when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be (H)My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and (I)Samaria, and even to [e](J)the end of the earth.”

Once, when he was eating with them, he commanded them, “Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for what the Father promised, which you heard from me. For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

So when they were together with him, they asked, “Lord, is this the time when you are going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”

He said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
