Among the gospels, only Luke's Gospel actually mentions the ascension into heaven of Jesus.
Luke's Gospel gives a graphic account of Jesus ascending bodily into heaven near Bethany, not far from Jerusalem. This occurred on the evening following the resurrection.
Acts of the Apostles, although written by the same author as Luke's Gospel, 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.

Acts of the Apostles records that Jesus remained on earth for forty days and was then taken up "and a cloud received him out of their sight."
As Luke's Gospel was written by the same author as Acts of the Apostles, some believe that its account is a later interpolation.

When did the Ascension take place?
A:The apostle Paul seems to have believed that the resurrection of Jesus and his ascension to heaven were the same event. For him, the risen Jesus did not appear on earth in the flesh. Luke's Gospel says that the ascension of Jesus took place on the road to Bethany on the evening of his resurrection.Acts of the Apostles, by the same author as Luke but written somewhat later, says that the ascension took place forty days after the resurrection of Jesus, at the mount of Olivetoutside Jerusalem.
What type of book is the gospel of Luke?
The Gospel of Luke is first of all a gospel, that is, a book written to tell us about the life of Jesus and its meaning for us. It is not an epistle (letter), or a novel (work of fiction) nor yet a footnoted history or autobiography. In the opening of the gospel Luke claims to have carefully researched what he wrote and to base his account upon eyewitnesses and others who were contemporaries of Jesus. Therefore, it is a historical account, but as it also is intended to produce a belief in Jesus it has an evangelical component.
Why did the other disciples of Jesus not write their gospel accounts of what Jesus did in their presence?

Where is the Gospel of Jesus we have many gospels but no gospel of Jesus Why?
Jesus was Himself the Gospel and 'the' preacher of the Gospel. He wrote no work or literature but lived what He taught. Others wrote about it later, particularly as they knew the Apostles would eventually die, and also to provide an authoritative record of truth against various heresies which were springing up. The works of the Gospel writers, two of whom were themselves Apostles and two not, were themselves 'Gospels of Jesus' in that they faithfully taught what Jesus said and did. There also were others present who could verify the truth of what was said and eager opponents who could disprove it if wrong.
Who wrote about following Jesus?
