The Promise of the Holy Spirit
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
over
the
course
of
forty
days
and
speaking
about
the
kingdom
of
God.
4
While
staying
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 the Holy Spirit not many days from now.’
The Ascension of Jesus
6
So when they had come together, they asked
him, ‘Lord, is this the time when you will
restore the kingdom to Israel?’
7
He replied, ‘It is
not for you to know the times or periods 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, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the
ends of the earth.’
9
When he had said this, as
they were watching, he was lifted up, and a
cloud took him out of their sight.
10
While he was
going and they were gazing up towards heaven,
suddenly two men in white robes stood by them.
11
They said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand
looking up towards heaven? This Jesus, who has
been taken up from you into heaven, will come
in the same way as you saw him go into
heaven.’
Gospel: Luke 24:44-53
44
Then
he
said
to
them,
‘These
are
my
words
that
I
spoke
to
you
while
I
was
still
with
you—that
everything
written
about
me
in
the
law
of
Moses,
the
prophets,
and
the
psalms
must
be
fulfilled.’
45
Then
he
opened
their
minds
to
understand
the
scriptures,
46
and
he
said
to
them,
‘Thus
it
is
written,
that
the
Messiah
is
to
suffer
and
to
rise
from
the
dead
on
the
third
day,
47
and
that
repentance
and
forgiveness
of
sins
is
to
be
proclaimed
in
his
name
to
all
nations,
beginning
from
Jerusalem.
48
You
are
witnesses
of
these
things.
49
And
see,
I
am
sending
upon
you
what
my
Father
promised;
so
stay
here
in
the
city
until
you have been clothed with power from on high.’
The Ascension of Jesus
50
Then
he
led
them
out
as
far
as
Bethany,
and,
lifting
up
his
hands,
he
blessed
them.
51
While
he
was
blessing
them,
he
withdrew
from
them
and
was
carried
up
into
heaven.
52
And
they
worshipped
him,
and
returned
to
Jerusalem
with
great
joy;
53
and
they
were
continually
in
the
temple blessing God.

So

they
asked
him,
‘Lord,

11
They

This
Jesus,
who
has

Then

While
