Luke 24:50-53 - The Ascension

⁵⁰ And he led them without [the city] as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. ⁵¹ And it came to pass, as he pronounced the benediction upon them, he was parted from them, and taken up into heaven. ⁵² And they, after paying him their adorations, returned to Jerusalem with vast joy: ⁵³ and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

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.
