While He blessed them, He was parted from them and taken up into
heaven. They worshipped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.
Amen.

The Gospel of John
1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were
made by Him. Without Him nothing was made. In Him was life; and the
life was the light of men. The light shines in darkness; and the
darkness cannot overtake it.
There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came to bear
witness of the light that all men through Him might believe. John was
not that light, but was sent to bear witness of that light. That was
the true light, which enlightens everyone who comes into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew
Him not. He came to His own, and His own received Him not. But as many
as received Him, to them He gave power to become the children of God,
even to those who believe in His name; those who were born not of
blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of
God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. And we beheld His
glory, the glory of the only son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
John bore witness of Him and cried, saying, This is He of whom I spoke.
