The Ascension^(F)

⁵⁰ And He led them out ^(G)as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. ^51 (H)Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. ^52 (I)And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, ⁵³ and were continually ^(J)in the temple ^[c]praising and blessing God. ^[d]Amen.
