And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.

So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.

For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.

And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
