As the disciples returned from Olivet to Jerusalem, the people looked on them, expecting to see on their faces expressions of sorrow, confusion, and defeat; but they saw there gladness and triumph. The disciples did not now mourn over disappointed hopes. They had seen the risen Saviour, and the words of His parting promise echoed constantly in their ears.

Da disciplene vendte hjem til Jerusalem fra Oliebjerget, betragtede folket dem i forventning om at se deres ansigter udtrykke sorg, forvirring og nederlag; men de så kun glæde og sejr. Nu sørgede disciplene ikke mere over deres skuffede forhåbninger. De havde set den opstandne Frelser, og ordene i hans afskedsløfter genlød stadig i deres ører.
