And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
Listen up, I'm sending you what my Father promised. But stay put in Jerusalem until you get filled up with power straight from heaven.
Wait for it, God's about to level you up with heavenly power.
