50 And He led them out ^aas far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51 ^aNow it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.

52 ^aAnd they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53 and were continually ^ain the temple praising and blessing God.² Amen.

Luke 24:52

They worshipped him - Let it be observed that this worship was not given by way of civil respect, for it was after he was parted from them, and carried back into heaven, that they offered it to him; but acts of civil respect are always performed in the presence of the person. They adored him as their God, and were certainly too much enlightened to be capable of any species of idolatry.

Returned to Jerusalem with great joy - Having the fullest proof that Jesus was the promised Messiah; and that they had a full commission to preach repentance and remission of sin to mankind, and that they should be Divinely qualified for this great work by receiving the promise of the Father, Luke 24:49.
