84The ascension

Mount of Olives

From the Mount of Olives He is taken up, with the promise that this same Jesus will come again.

Acts 1:6-11 KJV

⁶When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?⁷And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.⁸But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.⁹And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.¹⁰And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;¹¹Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Also in Luke 24:50-53

⁵⁰And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.⁵¹And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.⁵²And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:⁵³And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.
