Ascension of Jesus

The Ascension of Jesus

6 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth. 9 And when he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold two men stood by them in white robes, 11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”  

Acts 1: 6-11

La Ascensión

6 Los que estaban presentes le preguntaron: “Señor, ¿es ahora cuando vas a restablecer el Reino de Israel?” 7 Les respondió: “No les corresponde a ustedes conocer los tiempos y las etapas que solamente el Padre tenía autoridad para decidir. 8 Pero recibirán la fuerza del Espíritu Santo cuando venga sobre ustedes, y serán mis testigos en Jerusalén, en toda Judea, en Samaría y hasta los extremos de la tierra.” 9 Dicho esto, Jesús fue arrebatado ante sus ojos y una nube lo ocultó de su vista. 10 Ellos seguían mirando fijamente al cielo mientras se alejaba. Pero de repente vieron a su lado dos hombres vestidos de blanco, 11 que les dijeron: “Amigos galileos, ¿qué hacen ahí mirando al cielo? Este Jesús que les ha sido quitado volverá de la misma manera que ustedes lo han visto ir al cielo.”
