Best Answer

In Luke 24:51, "and was carried up into heaven" is called a "Western omission" because it is missing from some early manuscripts. However, this does not prove that it was a later addition - it may have actually been removed from Luke in some manuscripts, to avoid a conflict with Acts of the Apostles.

In The Revised Standard Version (R.S.V.) and The New English Bible (N.E.B.), this has been removed from the text and consigned to the footnotes.

The verse 51 of Luke 24 was not an omission because it was not originally there in the scriptures, and can never be. The Messiah could not have be taken to heaven because we know for a fact heaven is not the abode of the SON(s).

Before Christ ascended to heaven what were his last words to the disciples?

Matthew's Gospel does not actually say whether Jesus ascended into heaven, but if he did it would have been after his only meeting with the disciples, at the mountain in Galilee. Here, his last words were, "I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."Luke's Gospel gives a graphic account of Jesus ascending bodily into heaven near Bethany, on the evening following the resurrection. Luke's account actually describes the ascent to heaven, but much earlier and in different circumstances to Matthew. It says only that Jesus blessed the disciples and was then carried up into heaven.
