Roman catholics believe that he descended into the dead and resurrected and he saved the souls of the dead in limbo. The doctrine below is based on a non-Catholic doctrine. It is Bible-based theology, but Catholics have many base for their faith. There is our Apostolic tradition that some non-Catholics do not have and also the Church magisterium. Catholics believe that The Bible alone is incomplete doctrine.
AnswerThe above answer shows merely Roman Catholic doctrine on the matter (eg the existence of 'limbo') which has little basis either scripturally or historically.
According to the gospel accounts, and those of his contemporaries and their own followers, after the crucifixion his body was entombed in a new tomb owned by a follower called Joseph of Arimathea. On the Sunday following the crucifixion the tomb was found empty and Jesus, as a glorified, resurrected Jesus (and not just a resuscitated corpse) appeared to many of his followers for weeks later. On some occasions he appeared to single people (eg Mary magdalene, James, Paul), on others to groups of followers (eg the disciples, Cleopas and his companion) and Paul records an incidence where he appeared to over 500 at one time.
After several weeks Jesus then ascended to heaven. We do not know precisely what happened, but are told that he disappeared from their sight in a mist or cloud. Some time later his spirit returned (as the Holy Spirit) ans was poured out on his disciples giving them the strength and will to proclaim his godship and to begin his Church on earth, until he returns as judge.
ANSWER
In his human soul united to his divine person, the dead Christ went down to the realm of the dead. He opened heaven's gates for the just who had gone before him.
He ascended into heaven as he said to Mary Magdalene, (John 20.17), and then he appeared to many of his disciples, before his bodily ascension to heaven.
He gave his desciples the gift of the Holy Spirit, and then he ascended into heaven
He stayed on earth with his deciples for another forty days then he accended. (while the 40 days he was seen by over 500 ppl, the ppl that crucified him)
According to the Bible, Jesus was resurrected and rose into heaven after dying on the cross.
The bible never states that Jesus went to hell. There is no mention of Jesus taking a flower into hell with him.

Jesus didn't visit hell because he has no right. Jesus is perfect and sinless so he can't go to hell. And anyway, who ever goes to hell can never come out and will have to die forever.
Jesus went to Heaven when he died on Earth, not Hell.
Jesus.
NO Jesus did not go to hell he went to haven and that's true.
YES YES
No Jesus when crucified took the sins of Man to Sheol(grave).Jesus/God can not be in hell for Godis Holy and cannot be in the presence of Sin.
Well it depends if you believe in hell.
ha ha of course. we all are in hell.
The only way to avoid hell is through Jesus Christ.
it means that Jesus also died and he went to hell. 'hell' does not mean the place of Satan or something. it means he also went among the dead.
