10 They still had their eyes fixed on the sky as he went away, when two men dressed in white suddenly stood beside them 11 and said, "Galileans, why are you standing there looking up at the sky? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way that you saw him go to heaven."

19 *After the Lord Jesus had talked with them, he was taken up to heaven and sat at the right side of God.

12 I am telling you the truth: those who believe in me will do what I do—yes, they will do even greater things, because I am going to the Father.

28 I did come from the Father, and I came into the world; and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father."

17 "Do not hold on to me," Jesus told her, "because I have not yet gone back up to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them that I am returning to him who is my Father and their Father, my God and their God."

33 Jesus said, "I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I shall go away to him who sent me.

16 No one can deny how great is the secret of our religion:

He appeared in human form,

was shown to be right by the Spirit,*

and was seen by angels.

He was preached among the nations,

was believed in throughout the world,

and was taken up to heaven.
