The omission of "and was carried up into heaven" in manuscript S* can be explained by a mistake of the eye, when the copyist's eye jumped from "and" to "and." It is also possible to explain the omission from manuscript D and the Latin manuscripts as a mistake of the eye when copyists' eyes jumped from "them" to "him" in verse 52 (there is only one letter difference between these words in Greek). At any rate, the fact that the words are found in most early manuscripts of several types of ancient text indicates that they are original.
