Acts1:9
9 And when he had spoken these things ▪ while they beheld, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Mark 16.19. Luke 24.51. As he did actually give up his life till all was fulfilled, so he did not leave the World till all was revealed by him, that was necessary for us:
that they might be eye-witnesses, and most unexceptionable.
Not by an external help of Angels, but by his own power, and the agility of his (now) glorious body.
This, tho a true cloud, yet was a more than ordinarily glorious one; suitable to the Majesty of him that used it.
