§ 184. THE LAST APPEARANCE AND THE ASCENSION

On Olivet between Jerusalem and Bethany

Mark 16:19, 20Luke 24:50-53Acts 1:9-12

19 So then the Lord
Jesus, after he had
spoken unto them,
was received up into
heaven,
and sat
down at the right
hand of God.


20 And they went
forth, and preached
everywhere, the Lord
working with them,
and confirming the
word by the signs
that followed. Amen.
50 And he led them
out until they were
over against Bethany:
and he lifted up his
hands, and blessed
them. 51 And it came
to pass, while he
blessed them, he
parted from them,
1and was carried up
into heaven.


52 And they
2worshipped him, and
returned to Jerusalem
with great joy: 53 and
were continually in
the temple, blessing
God.

9 And when he had
said these things, as
they were looking,
he was taken up;
and
a cloud received him
out of their sight.
10 And while they were
looking stedfastly
into heaven as he
went, behold two men
stood by them in
white apparel; 11 which
also said, Ye men of
Galilee, why stand ye
looking into heaven?
this Jesus, which was
received up from you
into heaven, shall so
come in like manner
as ye beheld him
going into heaven.
12 Then returned they
unto Jerusalem.
