Acts 1:6 In-Context

4 And [while he] was with [them], he commanded them, "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for what was promised by the Father, which you heard about from me.
5 For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit {not many days from now}."
6 So [when] they had come together, they began asking him, saying, "Lord, [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 [the] times or seasons that the Father has set by his own authority.
8 But you will receive power [when] the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth."
