| 0:08.0 | and they will see him no more, a pall of gloom and fear descended upon them. |

| 0:25.1 | in clouds of glory into heaven, they returned to Jerusalem rejoicing. |
| 0:33.7 | The reason for the change in their response was they came to understand he was going to ascend to the heavenly places, to fill all things, |
