So, when they had come together, they began asking Him, saying, “Lord, (A)is it at this time that You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” But He said to them, “It is not for you to know periods of time or appointed times which (B)the Father has set by His own authority; but you will receive power (C)when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be (D)My witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and (E)Samaria, and as far as (F)the remotest part of the earth.”

The Ascension

And after He had said these things, (G)He was lifted up while they were watching, and a cloud took Him up, out of their sight. 10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, then behold, (H)two men in white clothing stood beside them, 11 and they said, “(I)Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who (J)has been taken up from you into heaven, will (K)come in the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore(A) the kingdom to Israel?”

He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.(B) But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;(C) and you will be my witnesses(D) in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,(E) and to the ends of the earth.”(F)

After he said this, he was taken up(G) before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white(H) stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,”(I) they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back(J) in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
