The Ascension

After that Jesus was seen of above five hundred brethren at once. And when they saw him, they worshipped him, but some doubted. And Jesus spake unto them, saying, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."

And Jesus led the disciples 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 were continually in the temple praising and blessing God.
