'NOT TO DEPART FROM JERUSALEM'-The city from which the prophets had foretold that the House of God and the law of the Lord would spread out from (Isaiah 2:2 'And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem'; Micah 4:1).

'THE PROMISE OF THE FATHER'-i.e. the promised Spirit or Comforter Who would guide them into all truth (John 14:26; John 15:26; John 16:13; Luke 24:49).
