What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend?

He points out. still greater marvel than eating his flesh and blood. He came from heaven and he will return there. This passage is remarkable as furnishing the only instance in which the Lord spoke in specific terms of his ascension during his earthly ministry. It is true that he often speaks of his return to the Father, but he does not explain whether it is. spiritual return or in what sense it was meant. Here he speaks positively of his ascension, and his words must be regarded. prophecy of his ascent from the heights of Olivet, in the presence of his disciples.
