The Ascension
6 kSo when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this ltime restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will receive mpower when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my nwitnesses in oJerusalem and in all pJudea and qSamaria, and to the rend of the earth.” 9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was slifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in twhite robes, 11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was utaken up from you into heaven, will come vin the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”
32 This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are awitnesses. 33 Being therefore bexalted cat the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the dpromise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. 34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,
e“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my fright hand,
35 until I make your enemies your footstool.”’
36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both gLord and hChrist, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
20 that he worked in Christ when nhe raised him from the dead and oseated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 pfar qabove all rule and authority and power and dominion, and rabove every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And he sput tall things under his feet and gave him as uhead over all things to the church, 23 which is his vbody, the wfullness of him who xfills all in all.
