AnswerIt is a matter of Christian faith that Jesus ascended bodily to heaven, although in the light of modern scientific knowledge, the ascension seems a little incongruous.

Luke wrote in his Gospel that on the evening of the day of his resurrection, Jesus went with the disciples near Bethany, where he ascended bodily into heaven. In Acts, written somewhat later, the same author tells us that Jesus remained on earth for forty days after his resurrection and then rose into heaven. The account in Acts does not specifically say, but implies by use of the word 'rose' that Jesus was lifted up bodily, more or less as in the author's earlier work.

The authors of the other gospels did not say what the risen Jesus did after he visited the disciples.
