Prologue
1 The former account I made, O aTheophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2 auntil the day in which1 He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit bhad given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen,
3 ato whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many1 infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
The Holy Spirit Promised
4 aAnd being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have bheard from Me;
5 afor John truly baptized with water, bbut you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
