Acts 1:3-11 - Jesus Ascends To Heaven

³ to whom also he had shewed himself alive, after he had suffered, by many infallible proofs, during forty days being frequently seen by them, and speaking of the things which relate to the kingdom of God:

⁴ and assembling them together, commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye have heard from me. ⁵ For John indeed baptised with water; but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Ghost not many days after the present.

⁶ They then accordingly assembling together, asked him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time reestablish the kingdom of Israel?

⁷ But he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times and the seasons, which the Father hath reserved under his own authority. ⁸ But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses for me, both in Jerusalem, and throughout all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the extremity of the earth.

⁹ And as he was speaking these things, while they were looking upon him, he was taken up; and a cloud enveloping him hid him from their eyes. ¹⁰ And as they looked up earnestly into the heaven, while he was passing, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; ¹¹ who also said to them, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in the same manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
