John 16:28

¹Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

³Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,

¹⁴Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.

²⁸You heard how I told you, ‘I am going away, and I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I said ‘I am going to my Father;’ for the Father is greater than I.

⁵But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’

⁵Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

¹⁶“A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.”

¹¹I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

⁹When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight. ¹⁰While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold,^[+] two men stood by them in white clothing, ¹¹who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”

⁵¹While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.
