The Ascension of Jesus (anglicized from the Vulgate ascensio Iesu, lit. 'ascent of Jesus'}}) is the account of when Jesus ascended to Heaven after his resurrection, where he was exalted as Lord and Christ, sitting at the right hand of God.

The Gospels and other New Testament writings imply resurrection and exaltation as a single event. In Acts, Jesus' ascension is situated on the fortieth day counting from the resurrection in the presence of eleven of his apostles.

Biblical accounts

Foretelling

John 6

(6:61) When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? (6:62) What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

John 7

(7:32) The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. (7:33) Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. (7:34) Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. (7:35) Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? (7:36) What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come? (7:37) In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. (7:38) He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (7:39) (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

John 14

(14:1) Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. (14:2) In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (14:3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (14:4) And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. (14:5) Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? (14:6) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

(14:12) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

(14:18) I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (14:19) Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. (14:20) At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. (14:21) He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

(14:27) Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (14:28) Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. (14:29) And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. (14:30) Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. (14:31) But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

John 16

(16:5) But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? (16:6) But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. (16:7) Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. (16:8) And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: (16:9) Of sin, because they believe not on me; (16:10) Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; (16:11) Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. (16:12) I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. (16:13) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. (16:14) He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. (16:15) All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. (16:16) A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. (16:17) Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? (16:18) They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith. (16:19) Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

(16:26) At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: (16:27) For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. (16:28) I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

John 20

(20:17) Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

Narrative

Mark 16

(16:19) So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. (16:20) And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Luke 24

(24:50) And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. (24:51) And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. (24:52) And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: (24:53) And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

Acts 1:

(1:1) The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, (1:2) Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen. (1:3) To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: (1:4) And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. (1:5) For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. (1:6) When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? (1:7) And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. (1:8) But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (1:9) And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. (1:10) And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; (1:11) Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Post Ascension

Acts 2

(2:33) Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. (2:34) For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, (2:35) Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

1 Timothy 3

(3:16) And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
