<strong>Word</strong> <strong>Pictures</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> NT [Luke: Chapter 24].<br />

24:51 {He parted from <strong>the</strong>m} (\diest• ap' aut•n\). Second aorist<br />

active (<strong>in</strong>transitive) <strong>in</strong>dicative of \diist•mi\. He stood apart<br />

(\dia\) and he was gone. Some manuscripts do not have <strong>the</strong> words<br />

"and was carried <strong>in</strong>to heaven." But we know that Jesus was taken<br />

up <strong>in</strong>to heaven on a cloud (Ac 1:9).<br />

24:52 {Worshipped him} (\proskun•santes auton\). Here aga<strong>in</strong> we<br />

have one of Westcott and Hort's Western non-<strong>in</strong>terpolations that<br />

may be genu<strong>in</strong>e or not. {With great joy} (\meta charas megal•s\).<br />

Now that <strong>the</strong> Ascension has come <strong>the</strong>y are no longer <strong>in</strong> despair.<br />

Joy becomes <strong>the</strong> note of victory as it is today. No o<strong>the</strong>r note can<br />

w<strong>in</strong> victories for Christ. The bells rang <strong>in</strong> heaven to greet <strong>the</strong><br />

return of Jesus <strong>the</strong>re, but he set <strong>the</strong> carillon of joy to r<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g<br />

on earth <strong>in</strong> human hearts <strong>in</strong> all lands and for all time.<br />
