5. but when they went in they did not find the body.

6. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel;

7. and as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?

8. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise."

3. for John baptized with water, but before many days you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit."

4. So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"

5. He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority.

6. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Sama'ria and to the end of the earth."

7. Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.

8. While he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.

4. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

5. Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.

6. And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

7. But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them, "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.

8. Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified."
