3 Después de su pasión, Jesús se les presentó con muchas y evidentes pruebas de que estaba vivo, apareciéndoseles durante cuarenta días y hablándoles del reino de Dios.4 Un día, mientras comían juntos, les ordenó: –No salgan de Jerusalén; esperen la promesa que les hice de parte del Padre;5 porque Juan bautizó con agua, pero ustedes serán bautizados con el Espíritu Santo dentro de pocos días.6 Los que lo acompañaban le preguntaron: –Señor, ¿vas a restablecer ahora el reino de Israel?7 El les dijo: –No les toca a ustedes conocer los tiempos o momentos que el Padre ha establecido con su autoridad.8 Ustedes recibirán la fuerza del Espíritu Santo; él vendrá sobre ustedes para que sean mis testigos en Jerusalén, en toda Judea, en Samaría y hasta los extremos de la tierra.9 Después de decir esto, lo vieron elevarse, hasta que una nube lo ocultó de su vista.10 Cuando estaban mirando atentamente al cielo mientras él se iba, se acercaron dos hombres con vestidos blancos11 y les dijeron: –Galileos, ¿por qué se han quedado mirando al cielo? Este Jesús que de entre ustedes ha sido llevado al cielo, vendrá de la misma manera que lo han visto irse.12 Entonces regresaron a Jerusalén desde el monte llamado de los Olivos, que dista de Jerusalén tan sólo lo que se permitía caminar en sábado.
Luke 10
1 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go.2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.3 Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.4 Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and greet no one on the road.5 Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house!’6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you.7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house.8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you.9 Heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’10 But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say,11 ‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.’12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.14 But it will be more bearable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you.15 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades.16 “The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
Luke 24
50 Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.51 While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven.52 And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,53 and were continually in the temple blessing God.
Mark 16
19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs.]]
