Where did Jesus ascend into heaven?

Answer 1

In Paul's epistles, Jesus' ascent to heaven was synonymous with his resurrection. Paul seems to have believed that all of the appearances to Cephas, the twelve, the 500, then James and the apostles were as spiritual as the appearance he experienced.

In Mark's Gospel, originally the ascent of Jesus must have also been synonymous with his resurrection. This Gospel originally ended at verse 16:8, without the appearances of the risen Jesus that we now see in the "Long Ending".

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. This could not have been until quite a few days after the resurrection, given the distance from Jerusalem.

Luke's Gospel gives a graphic account of Jesus ascending bodily into heaven near Bethany, not far from Jerusalem. This seems to have occurred on the evening following the resurrection. Acts of the Apostles, although written by the same author, records that Jesus remained on earth for forty days and was then taken up. Presumably the author received further information between the time of writing the Gospel and writing Acts.

John's Gospel does not actually say whether Jesus ascended into heaven, but if he did it would have been after his final meeting with the disciples, at the Sea of Galilee. This could not have been until quite a few days after the resurrection, given the distance from Jerusalem and the several meetings with the disciples.

Answer 2

The Bible relates several accounts;

1.On the day of resurrection. Luke 24:1-51, Mark 16:9-19.

2. At least eight days after resurrection. John 20;26.

3. Forty days after resurrection. Acts 1;2-3, 9

Answer 3

A:Only one New Testament author says that Christ ascended bodily to heaven. Luke's Gospel says that Jesus was seen by the disciples to ascend to heaven on the evening of the same day as his resurrection from the grave (Luke 24:51). 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 to heaven.

Answer 4

In Paul's epistles, Jesus' ascent to heaven was synonymous with his resurrection.

In Mark's Gospel, originally the ascent of Jesus must have also been synonymous with his resurrection. This Gospel originally ended at verse 16:8, without the appearances of the risen Jesus that we now see in the "Long Ending".

Luke's Gospel gives a graphic account of Jesus ascending bodily into heaven near Bethany, not far from Jerusalem. Acts of the Apostles, although written by the same author, records that Jesus remained on earth for forty days and was then taken up at the Mount of Olives. Presumably the author received further information between the time of writing the Gospel and writing Acts.

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. John's Gospel is also silent on an ascent into heaven.

Answer:

According to the book of Acts, the last the disciples saw Jesus was when He rose into a cloud from the Mount of Olives.

"...when He had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven. Then returned they unto Jerusalem FROM THE MOUNT CALLED OLIVET, which is from Jerusalem a Sabbath day's journey." (Acts 1:9-12)

This agrees with the prophecies of Jesus' return "with clouds" into which He disappeared. He is to return in a reverse play of His leaving... with clouds.

"...and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." (Matt.24:30)

And if He ascended from the Mount of Olives, as Acts says... then the reverse play of His return should be His descent from the clouds back onto the Mount of Olives - which the prophet Zechariah envisioned.

"Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle. And HIS FEET SHALL STAND IN THAT DAY UPON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall move toward the north, and half of it toward the south... and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee... and the Lord shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and His name One." (Zech.14:3-9)

Answer 5

He ascended to heaven on the day of his resurrection.

Another Answer:

Some have calculated this date to be Sunday, 29 April 31 A.D. shortly after His Resurrection late that Saturday - just before the start of the 1st day of the week (Jewish days start and end at sunset and not midnight as traditional days now do). He became the 'Wave Sheaf' offering for all mankind. This is the customary High Priest offering of the early barley harvest on the 1st Sunday following the High Annual Sabbath of the 'Feast of Unleavened Bread' which began after the Passover - the day portion when Jesus was crucified.

His final ascension to His Father's Throne happened 50 days after His Resurrection on Sunday, 17 Jun 31 A.D., called Pentecost - the start of the New Testament Church.

Answer 6

He didn't.

Alternatively

Most Christians believe that Jesus did rise and ascended into Heaven - from the Apostles Creed "...and on the third day he rose again from the dead and ascended into Heaven and sitteh on the right hand of God"

As to when the Ascension (Jesus ascending into Heaven) happened, Luke records this in Acts 1: 1 -11. What we can say is that it was some forty days after his resurrection from the dead.

Answer 7

It says in acts 1:3 forty days after he died

Answer 8

thirty-three by best account, although there is no proven answer for sure.

Answer 9

Jesus was crucified, buried, resserected, and ascended into Heaven. This happened about 2,000 years ago.
