Luke 24:50-53 - The Ascension

⁵⁰ He led them out until they were near Bethany. Then he lifted up his hands and blessed them. ⁵¹ While he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven. ⁵² Filled with joy, they bowed down to him in adoration. Then they returned to Jerusalem. ⁵³ They continued blessing God in the Temple.

⁶ When they met they asked him: Lord will you restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?

⁷ He replied: It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has set within His own authority. ⁸ You will receive power, when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

⁹ When he said these things, while they watched, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. ¹⁰ They gazed intently into the sky as he went into heaven. Two men wearing white stood beside them. ¹¹ They said: You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was received up from you into heaven will come in a similar manner as you saw him go into heaven.
