Acts 1:6-11
New King James Version
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, (A)“It is not for you to (B)know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. 8 (C)But you shall receive power (D)when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and (E)you shall be [a]witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and (F)Samaria, and to the (G)end of the earth.”
Jesus Ascends to Heaven(H)
9 (I)Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, (J)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 (K)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, (L)will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

The Ascension
6 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, (A)will you at this time (B)restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, (C)“It is not for you to know (D)times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will receive (E)power (F)when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and (G)you will be (H)my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and (I)Samaria, and (J)to the end of the earth.” 9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, (K)he was lifted up, and (L)a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, (M)two (N)men stood by them in (O)white robes, 11 and said, (P)“Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, (Q)will (R)come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”
