• ADA003 The Ascension of Jesus

    L'ascension de Jésus, survenue le 12 mai 33 sur le mont des Oliviers, clôt son ministère terrestre. Élevé dans une nuée, il est accueilli auprès du Père tandis que deux anges annoncent son retour glorieux. Cet événement, relaté uniquement par Luc, marque le passage vers le ministère céleste du Christ et fonde l'espérance eschatologique de l'Église primitive dans l'attente de la parousie.

    Acts 1.4-8 (King James Version) :
    And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?And he said unto them, 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, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
