So when the apostles were with Jesus, 

they kept asking him, 

“Lord, 

has the time come for you to free Israel 

and restore our kingdom? 

He replied, 

“The Father alone has the authority to set those dates

and times, 

and they are not for you to know. 

But you will receive power 

when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. 

And you will be my witnesses, 

telling people about me everywhere—

in Jerusalem, 

throughout Judea, 

in Samaria, 

and to the ends of the earth.”

Acts 1:7-8
