Announcement of the Messiah’s Reign^(A)

A Psalm of David.

Christ Ascends to God’s Right Hand^(A)

¹⁹ So then, ^(B)after the Lord had spoken to them, He was ^(C)received up into heaven, and ^(D)sat down at the right hand of God.

⁴³ And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in ^(A)Paradise.”

¹⁷ Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ^(A)ascended to My Father; but go to ^(B)My brethren and say to them, ^(C)‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to ^(D)My God and your God.’ ”

^2 (A)until the day in which ^[a]He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit ^(B)had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen,

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.

²⁴ For ^(A)Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are ^[a]copies of ^(B)the true, but into heaven itself, now ^(C)to appear in the presence of God for us;

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