Connecting different sets of 3D points

I have two sets of 3D points over time and I want to include a line between the each of the coresponding two points at each time value. For example:

A_3Dpts= [-0.91, 0.53, 0.32; -.88, .51, .3; -.84, .43, .16]

B_3Dpts= [-0.909, 0.51, 0.321; -.8, .59, .34; -.8, .4, .1]

I've tried using plot3() but only seem to be able to connect the points from the same 3D XYZ points instead of the two seperate groups.

I'll include an image of what I'm hoping to accomplish.

I assume the rows are the (x,y,z) coordinates,

If so, try this —

A_3Dpts= [-0.91, 0.53, 0.32; -.88, .51, .3; -.84, .43, .16] 

A_3Dpts = 3×3

-0.9100 0.5300 0.3200 -0.8800 0.5100 0.3000 -0.8400 0.4300 0.1600

B_3Dpts= [-0.909, 0.51, 0.321; -.8, .59, .34; -.8, .4, .1]

B_3Dpts = 3×3

-0.9090 0.5100 0.3210 -0.8000 0.5900 0.3400 -0.8000 0.4000 0.1000

figure
hold on
for k = 1:size(A_3Dpts,1)
    plot3([A_3Dpts(k,1);B_3Dpts(k,1)], [A_3Dpts(k,2);B_3Dpts(k,2)], [A_3Dpts(k,3);B_3Dpts(k,3)], '-k')
    scatter3(A_3Dpts(k,1), A_3Dpts(k,2), A_3Dpts(k,3), 50, 'r', 'filled')
    scatter3(B_3Dpts(k,1), B_3Dpts(k,2), B_3Dpts(k,3),50, 'g', 'filled')
end
hold off
grid on
view(-30,30)

If the columns are, then switch the subscripts, from (k,1) to (1,k) and so for the others.

Thank you!! this is exactly what I need.
