Lazarus, Martha and Mary stood next to Jesus as he spoke.
" It is necessary and written for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day".
Martha began to listen intently to Jesus's words.
" You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the end of the earth".
" Yes, Lord".
Then Jesus's clothing took on a glow and he began to rise disappearing into a cloud above them.
All of a sudden, two men in white stood next to them. " Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven?".
Martha could not believe what was happening.
" This same Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven will so come in like manner as you saw him go into heaven". Then the two men disappeared.
" Praise the Lord" Martha said as she hugged her brother and sister.
