- When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
- Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and, lifting up his hands, he blessed them. While he was blessing them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.
- While he was going and they were gazing up toward heaven, suddenly two men in white robes stood by them. They said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up toward heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”
- So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
- I came from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father.
- In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
- Without any doubt, the mystery of our religion is great:
He was revealed in flesh,
vindicated in spirit,
seen by angels,
proclaimed among Gentiles,
believed in throughout the world,
taken up in glory. - Jesus said to her, “Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ”
- Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
- Jesus then said, “I will be with you a little while longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.”
- Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father.
- Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you both see and hear.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory. Selah I lift up my eyes to the hills—
from where will my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.Next verse!With image
