In Acts of the Apostles, chapter 1, Jesus was talking to his disciples forty days after his resurrection, when he was taken up into heaven.
Answer:He was blessing them.Luke 24:50, 51 - And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. [NKJV]

How long was Christ on earth after his resurrection?
Only Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles tell us how long Jesus was on earth after his resurrection:Luke 24:50-51 tells us that Jesus led the disciples out towards Bethany on the evening of his resurrection, and was taken bodily up into heaven. In this case, he was on earth less than one day after his resurrection. He commanded the disciples to remain in Jerusalem until they had received the power from on high.Acts 1:1-9, by the same author but written some time after Luke's Gospel, tells us that the risen Jesus was on earth for forty days and was seen by many. Jesus commanded the disciples to remain in Jerusalem until they had received the the power of the Holy Spirit, and was then taken bodily up into heaven.
Where did Jesus go after saying goodbye to his disciples?
A:Matthew's Gospel: Jesus said goodbye to the disciples in a mountain in Galilee, instructing them to go forth and teach all nations. The gospel does not say where Jesus went, but that he would be with them always. Luke's Gospel: Jesus said goodbye to the disciples near Bethany on the evening of his resurrection, and was taken bodily up into heaven.John's Gospel: Jesus said goodbye to the disciples near the Sea of Galilee. The gospel does not say where Jesus went, but that the beloved disciple (commonly assumed to be John) would live until his return. The reference to Jesus' return suggests that Jesus went up to heaven. We can not say why Jesus did not return within the lifetime of the beloved disciple as promised.Mark's Gospel: This originally ended at verse 16:8 with the young man telling the women that Jesus was risen and they fled in terror, telling no one. In this gospel, Jesus did not say goodbye to the disciples. The 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20) was added much later, largely based on Luke's Gospel, and says that Jesus was taken up into heaven.Acts of the Apostles: Written by the same author as Luke's Gospel but some time later, this also says that Jesus was taken bodily up into heaven, but this time near Mount Olivet and rather long after the resurrection.
Three bible characters who went directly to heaven?
1) Enoch (who was the son of Seth who was righteous in God's sight and the son of Adam and Eve) 2) Elijah 3) Jesus
Will Jesus really return in 2015 or is this another failed prediction?
It is not for us to know the hour or day that Christ will return. For those that are ready they won't be taken by surprise. While Jesus was on earth the disciples asked Him when He would return and He said He didn't know, only the Father in heaven knows.
Where did Jesus rise?
Only Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles tell us about Jesus ascending to heaven. In Luke's Gospel, Jesus ascended bodily to heaven near Bethany, on the evening of his resurrection (Luke 24:50-51). In Acts of the Apostles, by the same author but written some time later, Jesus told the disciples not to leave Jerusalem, so presumably they were actually in Jerusalem when they were assembled together in Jesus' presence and saw him taken bodily up into heaven forty days after his resurrection (Acts 1:4,9).
What religion teaches the belief that you will be taken up to heaven by your hair?
The Bible teaches that those who are rightous will meet Jesus in the air. Jesus will come down from heaven, while the rightous will rose up to meet Him. As far as I know, no such religion teaches the belief that you will be taken to heaven by your hair.
What event marks the end of Luke's Gospel and the beginning of Acts?
Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles were written by the same author, long assumed to be the apostle Luke. The Gospel was written first, with Acts apparently written after an interval, during which some of Luke's assumptions may have changed.Luke's Gospel ends when the risen Jesus last spoke to the disciples and was then taken bodily up into heaven on the evening of the day of his resurrection.Acts begins when the risen Jesus, who had remained on earth for forty days, seen by many, last spoke to the disciples and was then taken bodily up into heaven.
Where did two followers see the resurrected Jesus?
Actually there were 11 people (Jesus' disciples) who saw Jesus ascend into heaven.Matt.28:16 says the 11 disciples went to the mountain that Jesus hadappointed for them to come to.Mark 16:14 says Jesus sat at a table with the 11 disciples and after He spokewith them in v.19 He was received up into heaven and sat down at theright hand of God.Luke 24:33 tells of the 11 disciples who were gathered together and v.36states that Jesus (suddenly) stood in midst of them and in v. 50 it saysJesus led them out, blessed them and He was parted from them andcarried up into heaven.Acts 1:4 states that Jesus was assembled together with the disciples speakingwith them and in v.9 it says, ......"Now when He had spoken these things,while they watched, He was taken up and a cloud received Him out oftheir sight".
Please explain Mathew chapter 9 verses 14 and 15.?
9:14 By this time John the Baptist was probably in prison. His disciples came to Jesus with a problem. They themselves fasted often, but Jesus' disciples did not. Why not? 9:15 Jesus answered with an illustration. He was the bridegroom and His disciples the wedding guests. As long as He was with them, there was no reason to fast as a sign of mourning. But He would be taken from them; then His disciples would fast. He was taken from them-in death and burial, and since His ascension He has been bodily absent from His disciples. While Jesus' words do not command fasting, they certainly approve it as an appropriate exercise for those who await the Bridegroom's return.
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.
