“Thus,

The Lord Jesus,

After he had spoken

To them,

Was taken up

Into heaven.

He sat down

At the right hand

Of God.”

 

Ὁ μὲν οὖν Κύριος Ἰησοῦς μετὰ τὸ λαλῆσαι αὐτοῖς ἀνελήμφθη εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ.

 

This account of the ascension of Jesus into heaven is like Luke, chapter 24:51, and the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 1:1 and 1:9.  Perhaps this longer ending of Mark was inspired by Luke.  After the Lord Jesus (Ὁ μὲν οὖν Κύριος Ἰησοῦς) had spoken all these things to them (μετὰ τὸ λαλῆσαι αὐτοῖς), he was taken up to heaven (ἀνελήμφθη εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν).  There he sits at the right hand of God (καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ).  Jesus is no longer just Jesus, but the Lord Jesus.  However, he has taken his correct place at the right hand of God the Father in heaven.  At the same time, this has hints of subordination theology where Jesus is inferior to God the Father at his right hand.
