Sie aber beteten ihn an, wandten um gen Jerusalem von dem Berge, der da heißet der Ölberg, welcher ist nahe bei Jerusalem und liegt einen Sabbater-Weg davon, und sie kehreten wieder gen Jerusalem mit großer Freude. |
They however prayed to Him, turned around toward Jerusalem away from the mountain, which is called the Mount of Olives, which is near Jerusalem and lies a Sabbath-day’s journey away, and they returned again to Jerusalem with great joy. |
(Luke 24:52a, Acts 1:12, and Luke 24:52b) |
