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.”
