translationNotes
- as they were looking up - "as the apostles were looking up at the sky"
- he vanished into a cloud out of their sight - "He went up into the sky, and a cloud blocked their view of him and they could not see Him anymore."
- looking intensely to heaven - "staring at the sky" or "gazing at the sky"
- You men of Galilee - Specifically "you apostles." Though the angels spoke to the apostles, other verses suggest that other disciples, both men and women, were present at this event.
- why do you stand looking into heaven? - This rhetorical question can be translated as a statement as in the UDB. (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_rquestion)
