1 The first account I made, O Theophilos, of all that יהושע began both to do and to teach,
2 until the day when He was taken up, after giving instructions through the Set-apart Spirit to the emissaries whom He had chosen,
3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them for forty days, speaking concerning the reign of Elohim.
4 And meeting with them, He commanded them not to leave Yerushalayim, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which you have heard from Me –
5 because Yoḥanan truly immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in the Set-apart Spirit not many days from now.”
6 So when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Master, would You at this time restore the reign to Yisra’ĕl?”
