Jesus Taken Up Into Heaven

1 In my former book,¹ Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach² 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven,³ after giving instructions⁴ through the Holy Spirit to the apostles⁵ he had chosen.⁶ 3 After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them⁷ over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.⁸ 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait⁹ for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.¹⁰ 5 For John baptized with^a water,¹¹ but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit."¹²
