  1. That's neat having all those translations side by side. I'm struck by the fact that one of most difficult scenes in the Bible for me to imagine (Jesus floating up in the sky??) is mentioned right after "Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures." The Ascension story is in my mind of something I hope to understand when I meet Jesus.
