The Ascension
50 And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them. 51 And it happened that while he was blessing them, he parted from them and was taken up into heaven. 52 And they worshiped him and[a] returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they were continually[b] in the temple courts[c] praising God.

- Luke 24:52 Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“worshiped”) has been translated as a finite verb
- Luke 24:53 Literally “through everything”
- Luke 24:53 Here “courts” is supplied to distinguish this area from the interior of the temple building itself
