A Samaritan Village Rejects the Savior

⁵¹ Now it came to pass, when the time had come for ^(A)Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,

The Ascension^(A)

⁵⁰ And He led them out ^(B)as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. ^51 (C)Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.

^21 (A)whom heaven must receive until the times of ^(B)restoration of all things, ^(C)which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since ^[a]the world began.

²⁰ which He worked in Christ when ^(A)He raised Him from the dead and ^(B)seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, ^21 (C)far above all ^(D)principality^[a] and ^[b]power and ^[c]might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

²² And ^(E)He put all things under His feet, and gave Him ^(F)to be head over all things to the church,

¹¹ And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

^3 (A)who being the brightness of His glory and the express ^(B)image of His person, and ^(C)upholding all things by the word of His power, ^(D)when He had ^[a]by Himself ^[b]purged ^[c]our sins, ^(E)sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

Our Compassionate High Priest

¹⁴ Seeing then that we have a great ^(A)High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, ^(B)let us hold fast our confession.

^20 (A)where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, ^(B)having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

²⁶ For such a High Priest was fitting for us, ^(A)who is holy, ^[a]harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, ^(B)and has become higher than the heavens;
