But when Jesus had finished His course of patient endurance,
and had redeemed mankind from their sins,
He ascended again into the heavens, a cloud receiving Him up:
and as He went up Angels were beside Him, and Apostles were beholding.
But if any man disbelieves the words which I speak,
let him believe the actual power of the things now seen.
All kings when they die have their power extinguished with their life:
but Christ crucified is worshipped by the whole world.
We proclaim The Crucified, and the devils tremble now.
Many have been crucified at various times;
but of what other who was crucified did the invocation ever drive the devils away?
— St. Cyril of Jerusalem
