Und da sie ihm nachsahen gen Himmel fahren, siehe, da stunden bei ihnen zwei Männer in weißen Kleidern, welche auch sagten: Ihr Männer von Galiläa, was stehet ihr und sehet gen Himmel? Dieser Jesus, welcher von euch ist aufgenommen gen Himmel, wird kommen, wie ihr ihn gesehen habt gen Himmel fahren. |
And as they watched him ascending to heaven, behold, two men in white garments stood beside them, who also said: |
You men of Galilee, why do you stand and look at heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken from you to heaven, will return, just as you have seen him ascend to heaven. |
