And no one has ever gone up to heaven except the Son of Man, who came down from heaven."

I did come from the Father, and I came into the world; and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father."

I have shown your glory on earth; I have finished the work you gave me to do.

Father! Give me glory in your presence now, the same glory I had with you before the world was made.

And now I am coming to you; I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world. Holy Father! Keep them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one just as you and I are one.

After the Lord Jesus had talked with them, he was taken up to heaven and sat at the right side of God.

As he was blessing them, he departed from them and was taken up into heaven.

After saying this, he was taken up to heaven as they watched him, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

As the scripture says, "When he went up to the very heights, he took many captives with him; he gave gifts to people."

So the one who came down is the same one who went up, above and beyond the heavens, to fill the whole universe with his presence.

who has gone to heaven and is at the right side of God, ruling over all angels and heavenly authorities and powers.
