50 When he* had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he liftet up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he blessed them, he left them and was taken up into heaven.
*The resurrected Jesus.
Also Mark 16,15-20.: He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the
good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptised, will be saved; but
whoever does not believe, will be judged (other translation: condemned). And
this signs will accompany those who believe: in my Name they will drive out
demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their
hands, and when they drink poison, it will not hurt them; they will place their
hands on sick people, and they will get well" (Annotation: So an
exploration is necessary, what is lacking in today's churches; only a few
phenomena like this are happening still in most churches.) 'And after the Lord had
spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.
Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with
them, and confirmed his word by the signs he let happen.'
Also Acts 1.
