Bible verse for May 1

⁵ For John baptized with water, but before many days have passed you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.” ⁶ So those who had gathered asked him, “Lord, is now the time you are going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” ⁷ He told them, “The times or seasons that the Father has set by his own authority are not for you to know. ⁸ Instead, you will receive power as the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and as far as the end of the earth.” ⁹ When he had said this, he was lifted up as they watched, and a cloud took him from their view. ¹⁰ As they were staring into the sky while he went, suddenly two men in white clothing stood next to them. ¹¹ They said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing and gazing into the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come back in the very way you watched him go into heaven.”
