So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, “Lord, (A)is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which (B)the Father has fixed by His own authority; but you will receive power (C)when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be (D)My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and (E)Samaria, and even to (F)the remotest part of the earth.”

The Ascension

And after He had said these things, (G)He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And as they were gazing intently into [a]the sky while He was going, behold, (H)two men in white clothing stood beside them. 11 They also said, “(I)Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into [b]the sky? This Jesus, who (J)has been taken up from you into heaven, will (K)come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”
