Luke 24:50-53 - The Ascension

Luke 24:50-53

50 And he led them forth as far as unto Bethany; and, uplifting his hands, he blessed them. 51 And it came to pass, while he was blessing them, he parted from them 52 And, they, returned unto Jerusalem, with great joy; 53 and were continually in the temple, blessing God.

Acts 1:6-11

6 They, therefore, having come together, began to question him, saying - Lord! art thou at this time duly establishing the kingdom unto Israel?

7 He said unto them - It is not yours to get to know times or seasons which the Father hath put in his own authority; 8 But ye shall receive power when the Holy Spirit cometh upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and inall Judaea and Samaria and as far as the uttermost part of the land.

9 And having said these things, as they were beholding, he was lifted up, and a cloud caught him away from their eyes. 10 And, while they were looking steadfastly into heaven as he was going his way, then lo! two men had taken their stand beside them, in white garments, - 11 Who also said - Men of Galilee! why stand ye looking into heaven? This Jesus who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in like manner as ye yourselves have gazed upon him going into heaven.
