Christ's Ascension

 

“ 父凭着自己的权柄所定的时候, 日期, 不是你们可以知道的。但圣灵降临在你们身上,你们就必得着能力, 并要在耶路撒冷, 撒玛利亚 , 直到地极, 和犹太全地, 作我的见证。”

"It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

 

说了这话,他们正看的时候, 他就被取上升,有一朵云彩把他接去,便看不见他了。 

After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.     

 

当他往上去,他们定睛望天的时候,忽然有两个人身穿白衣,站在旁边,说 :

They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 

 

加利利人哪,你们为甚麽站着望天呢?这离开你们被接升天的耶稣,你们见他怎样往天上去,他还要怎样来。

"Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."

我们为甚麽站着望天呢?基督从天上降下来。他就是神与我们同在。还有他说:你们要去, 使万民作我的门徒,给他们施洗,归於父 、 子 、 圣灵的名

It’s later than you think!
