beginning until the day when he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructionsthrough the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. After his suffering he

presented himself alive to them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them duringforty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. While staying with them, he orderedthem not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for the promise of the Father. "This," hesaid, "is what you have heard from me; for John baptized with water, but you will bebaptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."

So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, is this the time when you willrestore the kingdom to Israel?" He replied, "It is not for you to know the times orperiods that the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power whenthe Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all

Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." When he had said this, as they werewatching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. While he was goingand they were gazing up toward heaven, suddenly two men in white robes stood bythem. They said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up toward heaven? ThisJesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as yousaw him go into heaven."

Reader The Word of the Lord.People Thanks be to God.

The Second Lesson Ephesians 1:15-23

I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, and forthis reason I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. Ipray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit ofwisdom and revelation as you come to know him, so that, with the eyes of your heartenlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are theriches of his glorious inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable

greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working of his great power.God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated himat his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power anddominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the ageto come. And he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over allthings for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
