Acts 1:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 1:7

5 ^afor John truly baptized with water, ^bbut you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”

7 And He said to them, ^a“It is not for you to ^bknow times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.

8 ^aBut you shall receive power ^bwhen the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and ^cyou shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and ^dSamaria, and to the ^eend of the earth.”

Jesus Ascends to Heaven

9 ^aNow when He had spoken these things, while they watched, ^bHe was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.

10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them ^ain white apparel,

11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, ^awill so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”
