Luke 24:50-53 - The Ascension

⁵⁰ And he led them outside as far as to Bethany, and having lifted up his hands, he blessed them. ⁵¹ And it came to pass while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was brought up into heaven. ⁵² And having worshiping him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy, ⁵³ and they were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Truly.

⁶ Indeed therefore having come together, they questioned him, saying, Lord, do thou restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?

⁷ And he said to them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father established in his own authority. ⁸ But ye will receive the power of the Holy Spirit that comes upon you. And ye will be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and as far as of the extremity of the earth.

⁹ And having said these things, as they were watching, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their eyes. ¹⁰ And while they were gazing at his going into the sky, behold, two men had also stood by them in white apparel, ¹¹ who also said, Men, Galileans, why stand ye gazing into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into the sky will so come, in that same way as ye saw him going into the sky.
