The 40-day interval between Jesus resurrection

and his Ascension

(Acts 1: 1-26)

In the first book, Theophilus, I dealt with all that Jesus

did and taught until the day he was taken up, after

giving instructions through the holy Spirit to the apostles

whom he had chosen. He presented himself alive to them

by many proofs after he had suffered, appearing to them

during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

While meeting with them, he enjoined them not to depart

from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the

Father about which you have heard me speak; for John

baptized with water, but in a few days you will be

baptized with the holy Spirit.

When they had gathered together they asked

him. Lord, are you at this time going to

restore the kingdom to Israel? He answered

them, It is not for you to know the times or

seasons that the Father has established by his

own authority. But you will receive power

when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you

will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout

Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the

earth.

1. Jesus disciples clearly believed that he was the

Messiah, a leader like David who would restore

the kingdom to Israel during his earthly

ministry. Since this did not happen during his

lifetime, they ask if the time now.

Jesus response implies that it will, indeed,

happen, but it will happen at some point in

the future, according to Gods timetable.

2. In the meantime, the Apostles will receive the

Holy Spirit, and their task will be to take the

Gospel to the ends of the earth (e.g., for them,

the entire Roman Empire), starting in Jerusalem

and moving outwardwhich is exactly what

happens in Acts.
