Luke 24:50-51 says "When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven."

Acts 1:10-11 gives further detail about the ascension but not the exact location.

"They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."

How many times did Jesus ascend into heaven after being raised from the dead?

Jesus ascended to Heaven once only His ascension to heaven on the evening of his resurrection is described in Luke 22:51. Acts of the Apostles, by the same author but written some time later, also describes the ascension of Jesus to heaven, saying it occurred 40 days after the resurrection.


Did Jesus ascended with his Physical body or Spiritual body?

According to the Bible Jesus as a whole was taken up to heaven; both, I suppose. Jesus ascended with his Spiritual Body."But some man will say, How are the dead raised up and with what body do they come? Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened except it die; and that which thou sowest thou sowest not that body that shall be" (I Corinthians xv, 35-37). "It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body" (44) "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God" (50). Jesus' physical body must be buried somewhere.


What did Jesus say he would leave with the disciples?

Jesus said he would leave the Holy Spirit with the disciples to guide and empower them to continue his work after he ascended to heaven.


If Jesus ascended to heaven in spirit are there anybody in the Bible who ascended to heaven in his or her mortal body?

The prophet Elijah was was taken up to heaven in a cloud. One problem is that Jesus did not ascend in spirit only but in body as well, so the premise behind the question is incorrect. And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; For God took him. Genesis 5:24 Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him. Hebrews 11:5


How many days before anyone could touch Jesus after his resurrection?

A:This depends on the passage being read:In Matthew 28:9, the women touch Jesus, holding him by the feet, on the morning of his resurrection. Jesus allowed them to worship him thus.In John 20:17, Jesus says to Mary Magdalene, "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended ..." In this gospel, not only could Mary not touch Jesus, but no one could before he rose to heaven.Eight days later, still in John's Gospel at verse 20:27, Jesus forgets his earlier concern and tells Thomas to touch his wounds.
