New International Version (© 2011)
After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.King James Bible
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.American Standard Version
And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.Young's Literal Translation
And these things having said -- they beholding -- he was taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight;Acts 1:9 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the BibleHe was taken up - He was speaking face to face with them, and while they beheld he was taken up; he began to ascend to heaven, and they continued to look after him till a cloud received him out of their sight - till he had ascended above the region of the clouds, by the density of which all farther distinct vision was prevented. These circumstances are very remarkable, and should be carefully noted. They render insupportable the theory that states, "that our Lord did not ascend to heaven; that his being taken up signifies his going into some mountain, the top of which was covered with clouds, or thick vapours; and that the two men in white garments were two priests, or Levites, who simply informed the disciples of his revisiting them again at some future time." One would suppose that an opinion of this kind could hardly ever obtain credit among people professing Christianity; and yet it is espoused by some men of considerable learning and ingenuity. But the mere letter of the text will be ever sufficient for its total confutation. He that believes the text cannot receive such a miserable comment. Foreign critics and divines take a most sinful latitude on subjects of this kind. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge when.
