As they were looking (blepontwn autwn). Genitive absolute. The present participle accents the fact that they were looking directly at Jesus. He was taken up (eprth).

Second aorist active indicative of upolambanw, literally here "took under him." He seemed to be supported by the cloud. "In glory" Paul adds in 1 Timothy 3:16 . Out of their sight (apo twn opqalmwn autwn). From their eyes (apo with ablative case).
