SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:19
¶ Y el Seor, despus que les habl, fue recibido arriba al cielo, y se sent a la diestra de Dios.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 16:19
Verse 19. After the Lord had spoken] These things, and conversed with them for forty days, he was taken up into heaven, there to appear in the presence of God for us.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 19. So then, after the Lord , etc..] The Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions add, Jesus; and the Ethiopic version reads, our Lord, the Lord Jesus; and both Syriac and Persic read, our Lord; which is common in these versions, where the word Lord is used: had spoken unto them ; the disciples, the above words, which commissioned them where to go, what to do, and what to say; and what should follow them, for the confirmation of their mission and doctrine: he was received up into heaven ; in a cloud, angels attending him, and devils led captive by him, and with a welcome into his Father's presence: and sat on the right hand of God ; the Ethiopic version adds, his own Father, and which is an evidence of his having done his work, and that to full satisfaction; and is an honour never conferred on angels, or any mere creature; and is a peculiar dignity conferred on the human nature of Christ, in union with his divine person; and here he will remain, till his second coming.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 19, 20 - After the Lord had spoken he went up into heaven. Sitting is a postur of rest, he had finished his work; and a posture of rule, he too possession of his kingdom. He sat at the right hand of God, whic denotes his sovereign dignity and universal power. Whatever God doe concerning us, gives to us, or accepts from us, it is by his Son. No he is glorified with the glory he had before the world. The apostle went forth, and preached every where, far and near. Though the doctrin they preached was spiritual and heavenly, and directly contrary to the spirit and temper of the world; though it met with much opposition, an was wholly destitute of all worldly supports and advantages; yet in few years the sound went forth unto the ends of the earth. Christ' ministers do not now need to work miracles to prove their message; the Scriptures are proved to be of Divine origin, and this renders thos without excuse who reject or neglect them. The effects of the gospel when faithfully preached, and truly believed, in changing the temper and characters of mankind, form a constant proof, a miraculous proof that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation, of all who believe __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies
16:19 {Was received up into heaven} (anelempqe eis ton ouranon). First aorist passive indicative. Luke gives the fact of the Ascension twice in Gospel (#Lu 24:50f.) and #Ac 1:9-11. The Ascension in Mark took place after Jesus spoke to the disciples, not in Galilee (#16:15-18), nor on the first or second Sunday evening in Jerusalem. We should not know when it took place nor where but for Luke who locates it on Olivet (#Lu 24:50) at the close of the forty days (#Ac 1:3) and so after the return from Galilee (#Mt 28:16). {Sat down at the right hand of God} (ekaqisen ek dexiwn tou qeou). Swete notes that the author "passes beyond the field of history into that of theology," an early and most cherished belief (#Ac 7:55f.; Ro 8:34; Eph 1:20; Col 3:1; Heb 1:3; 8:1; 10:12; 12:2; 1Pe 3:22; Re 3:21).
