But in the 4th Acts 1:4 and following verse s he declares what he said on the day of his ascension.

1:1-5 Our Lord told the disciples the work they were to do. The apostles met together at Jerusalem; Christ having ordered them not to depart thence, but to wait for the pouring out of the Holy Spirit.
