Na di same apostles e show ensef many time sey, e still dey alive afta di sofa wey e sofa. Dem si am for forty days and e tell dem about God kingdom.

4
Den wen e follow dem sidan dey tok, e kon kommand dem sey, “Make una nor leave Jerusalem, but make una wait for di tin wey my Papa promise wey I don tell una before.

5
John dey baptize with wota, but e nor go tey wen God go baptize una with en Holy Spirit (wey go kontrol una life forever).”

6
So wen dem gada, dem kon start to ask Jesus Christ, “Oga God! Na naw yu go start to rule Israel?”

7
Jesus ansa dem, “Di time wey God plan nor koncern una,

8
but una go get pawa wen di Holy Spirit don enter una life and una go tell pipol about mi for Jerusalem, for evriwhere for Judea and Samaria go rish all di far place wey dey dis world.”

So afta e don tok with dem, God kon karry am up until kloud kover am and dem nor fit si am again.

10
As dem still dey look up as e dey go, two men wey wear white klot stand near dem

11
kon sey, “Galilee pipol, na wetin make una stand der dey look heaven like dat? Dis Jesus Christ wey God don karry go heaven today, go still kom back di same way wey una si am dey go heaven.”

12
So dem go back to Jerusalem from Mount Olives (wey dey near Jerusalem and di place wey dem waka so, far pass how di law dey allow pipol waka for Sabat Day).

13
Wen dem enter Jerusalem, dem kon go di room for upstair where dem dey stay. Pita and John; James and Andru; Filip and Tomas; Bartolomew and Matiu; James wey bi Afaeus pikin, Simon wey dem dey koll Zealot and Judas wey bi James pikin, na all of dem gada for der.
