The Promise of theSpirit

1;- in the first book, Theophilus, I dealt with all that Jesus did and taught 2;- until the day he was taken up, after giving instructions through the holy Spirit the apostles whom he had chosen. 3;- He presented himself alive to them by many proofs after he had suffered, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.4;- While meeting with them, he enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for 'the promise of the Father about which you have heard me speak; 5;- for John baptised with water, but in a few days you will be baptised with the holy Spirit.
