Acts 1:8-12

9After he had said this, while they were watching, he was lifted up and a cloud hid him from their sight.

10As they were still staring into the sky while he was going, suddenly two men in white clothing stood near them

12Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called the Mount of Olives (which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away).
