This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Matthew saith nothing of our Saviour’s ascension. Mark speaketh of it very shortly. Luke saith, And 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 carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. And again gives us this part of this history most fully, Act_1:1-12. We shall in our notes on Luk_24:51-53 speak more fully to this. We are told, Act_1:3, that Christ was forty days upon the earth after his resurrection, and, Act_1:9, that a cloud did receive him. He is said to sit on the right hand of God, to distinguish him from angels, whose places are but places of ministration.
