Acts 1:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.

3 After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.

4 And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss.

5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

6 So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
