Luke 24:50 Douay-Rheims

And he led them out as far as Bethania: and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

But you will say, How does this concern me? Because thou also shalt be taken up in like manner into the clouds. For thy body is of like nature to His body, therefore shall thy body be so light, that it can pass through the air. For as is the head, so also is the body; as the beginning, so also the end. See then how thou art honoured by this beginning. Man was the lowest part of the rational creation, but the feet have been made the head, being lifted up aloft into the royal throne in their head.
