那七十个人欢欢喜喜地回来,说:“主啊!因你的名,就是鬼也服了我们。” 耶稣对他们说:“我曾看见撒但从天上坠落,像闪电一样。 我已经给你们权柄可以践踏蛇和蝎子,又胜过仇敌一切的能力,断没有什么能害你们。 然而,不要因鬼服了你们就欢喜,要因你们的名记录在天上欢喜。”(路加福音10:17-20 和合本)

Now the seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name!” And He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning.Behold, I have given you authority to walk on snakes and scorpions, and authority over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.”(Luke10:17-20 NASB)

acts 8说了这话,他们正看的时候,他就被取上升,有一朵云彩把他接去,便看不见他了。 当他往上去,他们定睛望天的时候,忽然有两个人身穿白衣,站在旁边,说: “加利利人哪,你们为什么站着望天呢?这离开你们被接升天的耶稣,你们见他怎样往天上去,他还要怎样来。”(使徒行传1:9-11 和合本)

And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were watching, and a cloud took Him up, out of their sight. And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, then behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them, and they said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”(Acts1:9-11 NASB)
