1
In the first book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning
2
until the day when he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
3
After his suffering he presented himself alive to them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
4
While staying a with them, he ordered them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for the promise of the Father. "This," he said, "is what you have heard from me;
5
for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with b the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
6
So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?"
