And he led them out until they were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.... And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; which also said, 'Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, which was received up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven.
St. Luke 24: 50 - 51 -90, Acts I: 10-11.
