Where in the bible does it say that Mary went to heaven?

Answer 1

You will not find the 'Assumption of Mary' in any of the 66 books of the Holy Bible. Thomas Aquinas, in the 13th century, and many other theologians, have pointed out that "Scripture does not teach it." (1 Corinthians 15:50)

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Assumption of Mary is not found directly in any of the 73 books in the Holy Bible (please note that the protestants discarded seven books in the 16th century because they did not agree with them). However, all doctrine revealed by Our Blessed Lord was never contained in Scripture, as a point of fact, the New Testament as we have it now wasn't put together until the year 382 A.D. by the Council of Rome and infallibly declared at the Council of Trent in the sixteenth century. However, the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary as been part of the deposit of faith since the time of the Apostles. Nothing new as ever been added to the Deposit of Faith since the death of the last Apostle.

from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980

Assumption. The doctrine of Mary's entrance into heaven, body and soul. As defined by Pope Pius XII in 1950, the dogma declares the "Mary, the immaculate perpetually Virgin Mother of God, after the completion of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul in to the glory of heaven."

While there is no direct evidence of the Assumption in The Bible, implicitly the Church argues from Mary's fullness of grace (Luke 1:28). Since she was full of grace, she remained preserved from the consequence of sin, namely corruption of the body after death, and postponement of bodily happiness in heaven until the last day.

The Church does not rely on the Scriptures for belief in Mary's Assumption. The doctrine is rather part of the oral tradition, handed down over the centuries. It was therefore certainly revealed because, in reply to the questions, the Catholic bishops of the world all but unanimously expressed the belief that this was part of the divine revelations. In explaining the grounds for the Church's belief, Pius XII singled out the fact that Mary was the Mother of God; as the body of Christ originated from the body of Mary (caro Jesu est caro Marias); that her body was preserved unimpaired in virginal integrity, and therefore it was fitting that it should not be subject to destruction after death; and that since Mary so closely shared in Christ's redemptive mission on earth, she deserved to join him also in bodily glorification.

from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994

966 "Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain or original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death." (Lumen Gentium 59; cf. Pius XII, Munificentissimus Deus {1950); Denzinger-Schonmetzer, Enchiridion Symbolorum, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum 3903; cf. Rev 19:16.) The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation in her Son's Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians:

In giving birth you kept your virginity; in your Dormition you did not leave the world, O Mother of God, but were joined to the source of Life. You conceived the living God, and by your prayers, will deliver our souls from death. Byzantine Liturgy, Troparion, Feast of the Dormition, August 15th.)

974 The Most Blessed Virgin Mary, when the course of earthly life was completed, was taken up body and soul into the glory of heaven, where she already shares in the glory of her Son's Resurrection, anticipating the resurrection of all members of his Body.

Answer 2

This is not in the Bible, and there is no historical record of the event. It is a Mariology tradition that arose centuries later.

Jesus' mother Mary, is not mentioned after His Resurrection. The 'Assumption' is from men and not Scripture.
