^30 (A)Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, ^(B)and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

⁶³ But ^(A)Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, ^(B)“I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”

⁶⁴ Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, ^(C)hereafter you will see the Son of Man ^(D)sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Jesus Ascends to Heaven^(A)

^9 (B)Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, ^(C)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 ^(D)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, ^(E)will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

¹⁵ For this we say to you ^(A)by the word of the Lord, that ^(B)we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are ^[a]asleep. ¹⁶ For ^(C)the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with ^(D)the trumpet of God. ^(E)And the dead in Christ will rise first. ^17 (F)Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them ^(G)in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus ^(H)we shall always be with the Lord.

⁷ and to give you who are troubled ^(A)rest with us when ^(B)the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, ⁸ in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
