Short Answer

Open response / personal application.

Jesus gave His followers the mission to be witnesses to Him in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

They returned because Jesus had commanded them to wait in Jerusalem for the Father’s promise.

Acts 1 shows that the believers prayed together while waiting and before making an important decision.
