Till the day when he was taken up to heaven after he had given his orders, through the Holy Spirit, to the Apostles of whom he had made selection:

And while they were looking up to heaven with great attention, two men came to them, in white clothing,

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.

And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like the rushing of a violent wind, and all the house where they were was full of it.

Now there were living at Jerusalem, Jews, God-fearing men, from every nation under heaven.

And wonders will be seen in heaven, and signs on the earth, blood and fire and smoke:

For David has not gone up into heaven, but says, himself, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand,

Who is to be kept in heaven till the time when all things are put right, of which God has given word by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been from the earliest times.

And in no other is there salvation: for there is no other name under heaven, given among men, through which we may have salvation.

And hearing it, they all, with one mind, made prayer to God and said, O Lord, maker of heaven and earth and the sea and all things in them:

But God was turned from them and let them give worship to the stars of heaven, as it says in the book of the prophets, Did you make offerings to me of sheep and oxen for forty years in the waste land, O house of Israel?

And this was done three times: and then the vessel was taken back into heaven.

I was in the town of Joppa, at prayer: and falling into a deep sleep, I saw in a vision a vessel like a great cloth let down from heaven, and it came down to me:

And this was done three times, and they were all taken up again into heaven.

Good people, why are you doing these things? We are men with the same feelings as you, and we give you the good news so that you may be turned away from these foolish things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things in them:

But he was not without witness, because he did good, and gave you rain from heaven and times of fruit, making your hearts full of food and joy.

The God who made the earth and everything in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, is not housed in buildings made with hands;

And it came about that while I was on my journey, coming near to Damascus, about the middle of the day, suddenly I saw a great light from heaven shining round me.
