Acts 1:9-12 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.… A friend of mine told me of a visit he had paid to a poor woman overwhelmed with trouble. "Mary," said he, "you must have very dark days; the clouds must overcome you sometimes." "Yes," she replied, "when I am very dark and low I go to the window, and if I see a heavy cloud I think of those precious words, 'A cloud received Him out of their sight,' and I look up and see the cloud sure enough, and then I think, 'Well, that may be the cloud that hides Him'; and so you see there is comfort in a cloud." Parallel Verses KJV: And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. |
