The Apostles, Op. 49, Pt.2: VIIa. The Ascension

The Apostles:

We trusted that it had been He that should have redeemed Israel.

Jesus:

Peace be unto you.

Behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you, but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

The Apostles:

Lord, wilt Thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

Jesus:

It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in His own power.

But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
