7 His answer was: "It is not for you to know times or hours, for the Father has reserved these for his own decision; 8  But you shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit shall have descended upon you, and shall be witnesses for me not only in Jerusalem, but throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." 9 No sooner had Jesus said this than he was caught up before their eyes, and a cloud received him from their sight.
