Acts 1:4-6
J.B. Phillips New Testament
Jesus’ parting words before his ascension
4 On one occasion, while he was eating a meal with them, he emphasised that they were not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the Father’s promise.
5 “You have already heard me speak about this,” he said, “for John used to baptise with water, but before many days are passed you will be baptised with the Holy Spirit.”
6 This naturally brought them all together, and they asked him, “Lord, is this the time when you are going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
