Acts 1:3-11 - Jesus Ascends To Heaven

³ To these he also presented himself alive after his suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God.

⁴ And while staying with them, he commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which," he said, "you heard of from me; ⁵ for John baptized with water, but before many days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit."

⁶ So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"

⁷ He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority. ⁸ But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth."

⁹ And after he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. ¹⁰ And as they were gazing intently into the sky while he was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. ¹¹ They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched him go into heaven."
