Legacy Standard Bible
4 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; 5 for [b](C)John baptized with water, but you will be baptized [c]with the Holy Spirit [d](D)not many days from now.”
6 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?” 7 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; 8 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.”

6 So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?”
7 He replied, “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
