Jesus Promises to Send the Holy Spirit

1 The first account I compiled, O Theophilus, was about all that Jesus began to do and teach 2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 He presented himself alive to them, after his suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over the course of forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. 4 While he was with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, “Which,” he said, “you heard about from me. 5 For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
