A:

In Matthew's Gospel (28:7,16), the risen Jesus told the disciples to go to faraway Galilee. He met them there and gave them the Great Commission to preach his gospel. As a way of saying goodbye, Jesus said he will be with them always.

In Mark's Gospel (16:7), the women are also given the message to go to Galilee.

In Luke's Gospel (24:49), Jesus told the disciples to remain in Jerusalem until they were endued with power from on high. He then took them out to Bethany, where he ascended into heaven. The command to remain in Jerusalem is repeated in Acts of the Apostles (1:4), by the same author.

In John's Gospel, there is no suggestion of a command either to remain in Jerusalem or go to Galilee. In fact, the disciples very quickly went to Galilee, where Jesus found them fishing on the Sea of Tiberias (Sea of Galilee).

So, it is only in two accounts by the same author, Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles, that we find Jesus not wanting his followers to leave Jerusalem. By remaining together, they were able to receive the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost.
