Acts 1:2

1 In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,

until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.

3 After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.

4 And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
