Moreover, it is not without cause that the Angels here reprove them: For they knew that Jesus Christ should ascend into heaven, because he had many times foretold them, and also said unto them,1 It is expedient for you that I depart hence, For if I go not away, the comforter will not come unto you: but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And therefore it must needs be that they had forgotten it, seeing they stood gazing up into heaven, to see the issue thereof. For (as I have already said) he had told them that it was expedient that he should depart from them, and had also foretold them that he must reign, and that they should serve him, here in the mean time. He had likewise foretold them that he must sit at the right hand of God his Father, to make intercession for all the faithful: but they rightly showed that they had clean forgotten whatsoever he had so oftentimes manifested unto them.
Moreouer, it is not without cause that the Angels héere reproue them: For they knewe that Iesus Christe should ascend into heauen, because he had many times foretold them, and also said vnto them,1 It is expedient for you that I depart hence, For if I goe not away, the comforter wil not come vnto you: but if I depart, I wil send him vnto you. And therfore it must néeds be that they had forgotten it, séeing they stoode gazing vp into heauen, to sée the issue thereof. For (as I haue already said) he had told them that it was expedient that he shoulde depart from them, and had also foretolde them that he must reigne, and that they shoulde serue him, héere in the meane time. Hée had likewise foretold them that he must sit at the right hand of God his Father, to make intercession for all the faithfull: but they rightly shewed that they had cleane forgotten whatsoeuer hée had so oftentimes manifested vnto them.
