The Ascension texts of Luke in his Gospel and in the Acts belong to those parts of the New Testament about which discussion never ends. The flood of publications goes on from year to year. Only new points of view give one boldness to add another. I give here, as concisely as possible, some exegetical notes on the two Ascension texts of Luke, without entering into any detailed discussion of minor points. I shall confine myself to the texts of Luke.
