1 The former treatise I have made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2 until the day in which, having given commandments by the Holy Spirit unto the apostles whom he had chosen, he was received on high;
3 unto whom he also showed himself alive, after he had suffered, by many infallible proofs, appearing unto them for forty days and speaking to them of the kingdom of God;
4 and gathering them together, he commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, Which, he said, ye have heard of me.
