In Acts the second chapter, verses 30 and 31. Some translate this as Jesus was in Hell. This corresponds to a prophecy in Psalms 16:10 that King David was inspired to write. The fact that Jesus was in Sheol or Hell for 3 days shows that it would correspond to the common grave and not a place a torment.

In some interpretations of The Bible, it is believed that Jesus descended into Sheol, the realm of the dead, after his crucifixion but before his resurrection. This belief is based on passages such as Ephesians 4:9 which mentions Jesus descending to the depths. However, this idea is not universally accepted among Christian denominations.

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.


What was it called when Jesus went back to heaven?

Who did Jesus teach in sheol?

If you are talking from a biblical standpoint, the Bible never says that He taught anyone in Sheol (the Hebrew word for Hell). In fact, the Bible doesn't even say that He went to Hell at all, just that He died and went to be with God. Legend has it that He spent the three days between His death and resurrection in Hell, paying for the sins of the world, but this cannot be found in the Bible.


Did Jesus go to hell and were can you found it in the bible?

This was open to translation. It never actually said he went to hell, but it did say that he ascended and descended in Ephesians 4. Some people believe that Adam and Eve's sin closed the gates of heaven, and all souls went to the land of the dead, called Sheol. This was not the fiery pits of hell that are described later in the Bible, but more like a holding place for everyone that died. Part of this line of thought is that when Jesus died, he ascended to reopen the gates of Heaven, the descended into Sheol to make the proclamation.

The Bible does not say. However, some extra-biblical sources and tradition say that Joseph of Arimathaea was Jesus' uncle, who imported tin from Cornwall in England, and that Jesus went with him on these trips, including to Glastonbury which would explain why they traditionally believes Jesus went there. Make of it as you will.
