7. Jesus told them, “You don’t need to know about times or periods that the Father has determined by his own authority.
8. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes to you. Then you will be my witnesses to testify about me in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
9. After he had said this, he was taken to heaven. A cloud hid him so that they could no longer see him.
10. They were staring into the sky as he departed. Suddenly, two men in white clothes stood near them.
11. They asked, “Why are you men from Galilee standing here looking at the sky? Jesus, who was taken from you to heaven, will come back in the same way that you saw him go to heaven.”
12. Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called the Mount of Olives. It is near Jerusalem, about half a mile away.
