The indeed first account I composed concerning all the things, O Theophilus, of which began Jesus to do both and to teach,

until the day, having given orders to the apostles by [the] Spirit Holy whom He had chosen, He was taken up,

to whom also He presented Himself alive after the suffering of Him with many proofs, during days forty being seen by them and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God.

And being assembled together, He instructed to them from Jerusalem not to depart, but to await the promise of the Father: That which you heard of Me;

for John indeed baptized with water; you however with [the] Spirit will be baptized Holy, not after many these days.
