R. F. Weymouth
Book 44 Acts
001:001 My former narrative, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus
did and taught as a beginning, down to the day on which,
001:002 after giving instruction through the Holy Spirit to the Apostles
whom He had chosen, He was taken up to Heaven.
001:003 He had also, after He suffered, shown Himself alive to them
with many sure proofs, appearing to them at intervals during
forty days, and speaking of the Kingdom of God.
001:004 And while in their company He charged them not to leave
Jerusalem, but to wait for the Father's promised gift.
"This you have heard of," He said, "from me.
001:005 For John indeed baptized with water, but before many days
have passed you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
