TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Jesus’ Ascension

Jesus’ ascension into heaven was a final commissioning service for the apostles (Acts 1:6-11; Luke 24:45-53). The ascension marks the beginning of the powerful ministry of the Holy Spirit through the church (Luke 24:49).

Christ’s ascension to heaven indicates his elevation to ultimate power and authority (Eph 1:19-23; Phil 2:9-11). That Jesus was going to the Father is noted in other places (John 6:62; 13:1-3; 13:31–14:3, 14:28; 16:5-10, 16, 28; 20:17; Eph 4:8-10). It occurred at the last of Jesus’ physical appearances; after this he would remain in heaven until the “final restoration of all things” (Acts 3:21).

The ascension reminds believers of Jesus’ promised return (Acts 1:11; see Matt 24:30; Mark 13:26; John 14:3). The witnesses of the ascension went back to Jerusalem with joy and exhilaration, in praise and worship of Christ (Luke 24:52). They were convinced that their Lord would return again, physically and personally (1 Thes 4:16; 2 Thes 1:7-10; 2 Pet 3:10).

Jesus’ ascension anticipates the believer’s own glorious entrance into the presence of God, where Jesus has gone to prepare the way (John 14:1-3; 2 Cor 5:4; Phil 3:21; Heb 6:19-20).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

οἱ μὲν οὖν συνελθόντες, ἠρώτων αὐτὸν

the_‹ones› indeed therefore /having/_come_together /were/_asking him

In the first instance, they describes Jesus and the apostles, while in the second instance, they refers to the apostles. (Other disciples could have been present on this occasion, but the instructions that Jesus gives about being “witnesses” in 1:8 apply specifically to the apostles, so it would be good to name them directly.) Alternate translation: [When the apostles were together with Jesus, the apostles were asking him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἰ ἐν τῷ χρόνῳ τούτῳ, ἀποκαθιστάνεις τὴν βασιλείαν τῷ Ἰσραήλ

¬if at ¬the time this ˱you˲_/are/_restoring the kingdom ¬the ˱to˲_Israel

This is an idiomatic way of asking a question. Alternate translation: [are you restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time] or [will you now restore the kingdom to Israel]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰ & ἀποκαθιστάνεις τὴν βασιλείαν τῷ Ἰσραήλ

¬if & ˱you˲_/are/_restoring the kingdom ¬the ˱to˲_Israel

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word kingdom, you could express the same idea with a noun such as “king.” Alternate translation: [are you going to give Israel its own king again] or [are you going to become the restored king of Israel]
