⁶² Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?^(A)

¹³ No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.^[a](A)

The Ascension of Jesus

¹⁹ So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

⁴ I glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do.^{(A) 5} So now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had in your presence before the world existed.^(B)

⁵¹ While he was blessing them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.^[a](A)

²² who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers made subject to him.^(A)

⁸ Therefore it is said,

⁹ (When it says, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended^[b] into the lower parts of the earth?^{[c] 10} He who descended is the same one who ascended far above all the heavens, so that he might fill all things.)

⁹ When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.^(A)

²⁸ I came from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father.”^(A)

¹¹ And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.^(A)
