"All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, Matt. 28. 18.20. "and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of "the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things "whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even 66 ' unto the end of the world."1

CHAPTER LX.

The Ascension.

a

16. 19, 20.

AFTER that 54 Jesus 5 was seen of James; then of all the apostles: 5 Luke 21. 49-63.

to whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: and being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, "Which," saith he, "ye have heard "of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized "with the Holy Ghost not many days hence."

a 1 Cor. 15. 7.

When they therefore were come together at Jerusalem, they asked Acts 1.3.8. of him, saying,

"Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?" And he said unto them,

56

"It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father "hath put in his own power. And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: 3 and 5 ye shall receive power, after that the Holy "Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. But tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be "endued with power from on high." 3

After the Lord had spoken 2 these things5d unto them, he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and, while they beheld,5 d was carried up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.2

And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; which also said,

"Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same "Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like 66 manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."

Acts 1. 10-12.

Then they worshipped him, and 3 with great joy3 returned to Jeru- And. 3 salem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey; 5 and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.3

And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.2

WORKS OF JESUS.

And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: but these are written, that ye might. believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.*

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.1
