The Ascension

Acts 1

⁶ Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" ⁷ And He said to them, _i "It is not for you to _j know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. ⁸ _k "But you shall receive power _l when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and _m you shall be ₁ witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and _n Samaria, and to the _o end of the earth." ⁹ _p Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, _q He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. ¹⁰ And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them _r in white apparel, ¹¹ who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, _s will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."
