Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, “Which,” He said, “you heard of from Me;

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.
