40 days after Easter Sunday, Jesus ascended back into heaven and
is seated at the right hand of the Father.
Jesus said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates
the Father has set by His own authority. But you will receive power
when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the
earth."
After He said this, He was taken up before their very eyes, and a
cloud hid Him from their sight.
They were looking intently up into the sky as He was going, when
suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11"Men of
Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky?
This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come
back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven."
Acts 1:7-11
