Yeshua’s ascension

Acts 1:6–11

1:6 Yeshua’s ascension

6So when they were next gathered together, they asked him, “Master, is this now the time when you’ll be restoring the kingdom to Israel?”[fn]

7But Yeshua responded to them, “You don’t need to know the times or seasons when future events will happen—it’s the father who decides all that. 8[ref]However, you all will be receiving power when the holy spirit lands on you. Then you’ll tell people about me in Yerushalem and all across the provinces of Yudea and Samaria, and all the way to the furtherest parts of the planet. 9[ref]After he’d said that and while they were still looking at him, he was lifted up into the sky until they could no longer see him because of the clouds.

10As they stood there staring into the sky after he’d gone, suddenly two men in white clothes were standing beside them 11and said, “You men from Galilee! Why are you still standing there looking up at the sky? This Yeshua who has been taken up away from you into heaven will come back in the same way that you saw him go up into heaven.”


1:6 At the time of asking, Israelis were burdened under the rule and taxes of the Roman occupiers.
