Acts 1:3-11 - Jesus Ascends To Heaven

³ After his sufferings he had shown them that he was alive by a number of proofs, revealing himself to them for forty days and discussing the affairs of God's Realm.

⁴ Also, as he ate with them, he charged them not to leave Jerusalem but to wait for what the Father promised ??"for what you have heard me speak of," said he; ⁵ "for John baptized with water, but not many days after this you shall be baptized with the holy Spirit."

⁶ Now when they met, they asked him, "Lord, is this the time you are going to restore the Realm to Israel?"

⁷ But he told them, "It is not for you to know the course and periods of time that the Father has fixed by his own authority. ⁸ You will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses at Jerusalem, throughout all Judaea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

⁹ On saying this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him out of sight. ¹⁰ As he went up, their eyes were fixed on heaven; but just then two men stood beside them dressed in white, ¹¹ who said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up to heaven? This Jesus who has been taken from you into heaven will come back, just as you have seen him depart to heaven."
