4 And while staying¹ with them he ordered them ^fnot to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the ^gpromise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; 5 for John baptized ^hwith water, but ⁱyou will be baptized with² the ^jHoly Spirit not many days from now.”

6 ^kSo when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this ^ltime restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will receive ^mpower when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my ⁿwitnesses in ^oJerusalem and in all ^pJudea and ^qSamaria, and to the ^rend of the earth.”
