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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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).
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.
How do you make disciples of men?
Enter the fold. Or join the true Church of Christ. Hear the Word of God. Believe in it. Embrace it. And pray to God every day. Keep and obey His commandments. Persevere until the end. And then you will gain salvation, for sure. Best wishes to you.
