Christ, preparing his Apostles to the beholding of his ascension, gathereth them together into the mount Olivet, commandeth them to expect in Jerusalem the sending down of the Holy Ghost, promiseth after few days to send it, by virtue whereof they should be witnesses unto him, even to the utmost parts of the earth.1 ¶ The² formerº¹ treatiseº have² I made,ºª Oº Theophilus,º ofº allº thatº Jesusº beganºª bothº to doºª andº teach,ºª 2 Untilº the dayº in whichº he was taken up,ºª after that he throughº the Holyº Ghostº had given commandmentsºª unto the² apostlesº whomº he had chosen:ºª 3 To whomº alsoº he shewed¹ª² himselfº aliveºª after¹ hisº passionºª byº manyº infallible proofs,º being seenºª of themº¹ fortyº days,º andº speakingºª of the things² pertainingº to the² kingdomº of God:º 4 And,º being assembled together¹ª with¹² [them], commandedºª themº that they should¹ª notº departºª fromº Jerusalem,º butº wait¹ª for² the² promiseº of the² Father,º which,º [saith he], ye have heardºª of me.º 5 Forº Johnº trulyº baptizedºª with water;º butº yeº shall be baptizedºª withº the Holyº Ghostº notº manyº¹ daysº hence.º 6 When¹ they²² thereforeº were come together,ºª they askedºª of him,º saying,ºª Lord,º¹ wilt thou¹ª² atº thisº timeº restore againºª the² kingdomº to Israel?º 7 Andº he saidºª untoº them,º It isºª notº for youº to knowºª the timesº orº the seasons,º whichº the² Fatherº hath putºª inº his ownº power.º 8 Butº ye shall receiveºª power,º after that the² Holyº Ghostº is comeºª uponº you:º andº ye shall beºª witnessesº unto meº bothº inº Jerusalem,º andº inº allº Judaea,º andº in Samaria,º andº untoº the uttermost partº of the² earth.º [1] Mt 4:23; 11:5; Lk 1:3, 24; 7:21; 24:19; Jn 10:32; 18:19; Ac 2:22; 1P 2:21.
