Luke 24:52

50 When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51 While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53 praising God continually in the temple.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
