Matthew Poole and continuators on Mark 16:17

17. So then, after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

Matthew saith nothing of our Saviours Ascension, Mark speaketh of it very shortly. Luke saith. And he led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up to Heaven. And they worshipped him and returned to Ierusalem with great Ioy. And again gives us this part of this History most fully, Acts 1. from v. 1. to v. 12. we shall in our Notes on Luke 24. speak more fully to this. We are told Acts 1.3. that Christ was forty Days upon the Earth after his Resurrection, and v. 9. That a Cloud did receive him. He is said to sit on the Right Hand of God, to distinguish him from Angels, whose places are but places of Ministration.
