Forty days According to Scripture and tradition Christ stayed with the apostles forty days between His resurrection and Ascension.

Acts 1.3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion, by many proofs, for forty days appearing to them, and speaking of the kingdom of God.

According to Matthew, Jesus appeared to the disciples on one occasion, on a mountain in Galilee and then left them. This would seem to have been soon after the Resurrection.

According to Luke, two of the, went "the same day" to Emmaus and met Jesus, but did not at first recognise him. That evening he ate with the disciples. He later took them to Bethany, where he was lifted up to heaven. Some people interpret this as meaning that Jesus ascended to heaven after one day.

According to Acts of the Apostles, a later work by the same author as Luke, Jesus stayed 40 days.

According to John, Jesus visited the disciples twice in their room in Jerusalem, then some short time later at the Sea of Galilee. A delay of forty days can not be ruled out, although the text makes it seem unlikely.

Mark, the first of the gospels to be written, originally did not mention any appearances of the risen Jesus. The "Long Ending" (16:9-20), believed by some to be added some time later to harmonise as far as possible with Matthew and Luke, says that Jesus was received up into heaven after he met the disciples. Some interpret this as being on the evening of his Resurrection.

What day is when Mary went to heaven?

AnswerThe gospels say that Jesus rose from the grave on the third day - Sunday. The passages in which Jesus rose to heaven are called the ascension, and are only found in Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles. Luke says that Jesus was seen by the disciples to ascend bodily to heaven on the evening of the same day as his resurrection from the grave (Luke 24:51) - Sunday.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 bodily to heaven.
