How many days after the resurrection did Jesus ascend into heaven?

Forty days According to Scripture and tradition Christ stayed with the apostles forty days between His resurrection and Ascension.
Acts 1.3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion, by many proofs, for forty days appearing to them, and speaking of the kingdom of God.
According to Matthew, Jesus appeared to the disciples on one occasion, on a mountain in Galilee and then left them. This would seem to have been soon after the Resurrection.
According to Luke, two of the, went "the same day" to Emmaus and met Jesus, but did not at first recognise him. That evening he ate with the disciples. He later took them to Bethany, where he was lifted up to heaven. Some people interpret this as meaning that Jesus ascended to heaven after one day.
According to Acts of the Apostles, a later work by the same author as Luke, Jesus stayed 40 days.
According to John, Jesus visited the disciples twice in their room in Jerusalem, then some short time later at the Sea of Galilee. A delay of forty days can not be ruled out, although the text makes it seem unlikely.
Mark, the first of the gospels to be written, originally did not mention any appearances of the risen Jesus. The "Long Ending" (16:9-20), believed by some to be added some time later to harmonise as far as possible with Matthew and Luke, says that Jesus was received up into heaven after he met the disciples. Some interpret this as being on the evening of his Resurrection.

Although it is important to note that in The Bible, the number forty is often used to mean "many". Like how Jesus wandered in the desert for forty days and forty nights, and the Israelites followed Moses through the desert for forty years.

∙ 8y agoSome scholars interpret Paul's account as saying that the resurrection and ascension to heaven were the same event. Jesus was resurrected immediately to heaven.
In the 'long ending' of Mark's Gospel, Jesus ascended after meeting the disciples in and near Jerusalem, either on the same day as his resurrection, or within just a few days.
According to Luke's Gospel, Jesus met the disciples briefly, and ascended to heaven at Bethany, seemingly on the evening of his resurrection. Many scholars say this was a later interpolation.
Matthew's Gospel and John's Gospel do not actually mention the ascension, so from these sources it is not possible to say how many days there were between the resurrection and the ascension.
Acts 1:3 says that Jesus was taken up after forty days, having spent much of this time with the apostles.

∙ 8y agoShortly after His Saturday resurrection, Jesus would ascend to our Father as the 'wave sheaf' offering for the sins of all mankind. This is part of the first day of the week (Sunday) after the weekly Sabbath had passed during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Symbolically, the Jewish High Priest would wave some barley leaves representing the offering for the sins of the people. The Father accepted Him as our substitute for sin. He would then come back to His disciples and many others for 40 more days before ascending into Heaven (some date this to Thursday, 10 Jun 31 AD) to sit at the right hand of the Father:
John 20:17New American Standard Bible (NASB)17 Jesus *said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.

What day is when Mary went to heaven?
AnswerThe gospels say that Jesus rose from the grave on the third day - Sunday. The passages in which Jesus rose to heaven are called the ascension, and are only found in Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles. Luke says that Jesus was seen by the disciples to ascend bodily to heaven on the evening of the same day as his resurrection from the grave (Luke 24:51) - Sunday.Acts of the Apostles, written by the same author but some time later, says that Jesus remained on earth for forty days after his resurrection from the grave and was then seen by the disciples to ascend bodily to heaven. Acts is not sufficiently specific about exactly how many days the risen Jesus was on earth to say which day this was.

How long did Jesus live after the resurrection before he went to heaven?
According to Acts 1:1-3, Jesus instructed the apostles for forty days between the resurrection and His ascension.
Why do you think jesus waited with the disciples forty days after his resurrection before going to heaven?
A:It is unclear just when Jesus did ascend to heaven, if this is historically correct. Acts of the Apostles tells us that he ascended after forty days, during which he was seen by many (1:3). On this account, he could have chosen to wait until enough people had seen him to prove his resurrection was real. However, Luke's Gospel, written by the same author but somewhat earlier, says that Jesus ascended to heaven on the evening of the day of his resurrection (24:51). Paul, in his epistles, seems to have believed that the resurrection and the ascension to heaven were one and the same event - in other words, that Jesus was resurrected spiritually and that there was no physical resurrection. Matthew and Mark do not mention an ascension to heaven, and Matthew's account of the appearance of the risen Jesus to the disciples seems to rule out the ascension in Acts as well as that in Luke. On these accounts we can not say that Jesus waited forty days, or even that he ascended bodily to heaven at all.
Where does Luke's Gospel mention the ascension of Jesus?
A:Luke 24:51 says that Jesus was parted from them and taken up to heaven on the evening of the day of his resurrection. This contrasts with Acts, by the same author but written some time afterwards, where Jesus was taken up to heaven forty days after his resurrection.
Where in the Bible does it state where Jesus went into the bowels of the earth after he rose from the dead?
Nowhere. After Jesus' resurrection, and a short period of 40 days on the earth, he ascended to heaven.
