The
Disciples Return To Jerusalem
(Location: Bethany In
Judea)
LUKE
24:
49 I
am going to send you what My Father has promised; but stay in the
city until you have been clothed with power from on high." 50 When
He had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, He lifted up His
hands and blessed them.
51 While
He was blessing them, He left them and was taken up into Heaven. 52 Then
they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And
they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.
ACTS
1:
1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began
to do and to teach 2 until the day He was taken
up to Heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to
the apostles He had chosen. 3 After His
suffering, He showed Himself to these men and gave many convincing
proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a period of
forty days and spoke about the Kingdom of God. 4 On
one occasion, while He was eating with them, He gave them this
command: "Do
not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift My Father promised,
which you have heard Me speak about. 5 For
John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized
with the Holy Spirit."
