Luke 24:50-53 - The Ascension

⁵⁰ And he took them out till they were near Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he gave them a blessing. ⁵¹ And while he was doing so, he went from them and was taken up into heaven. ⁵² And they gave him worship and went back to Jerusalem with great joy. ⁵³ And they were in the Temple at all times, giving praise to God.

⁶ So, when they were together, they said to him, Lord, will you at this time give back the kingdom to Israel?

⁷ And he said to them, It is not for you to have knowledge of the time and the order of events which the Father has kept in his control. ⁸ But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

⁹ And when he had said these things, while they were looking, he was taken up, and went from their view into a cloud. ¹⁰ And while they were looking up to heaven with great attention, two men came to them, in white clothing, ¹¹ And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.
