So, there are no discrepancies in these different accounts. This is consistent with Bible Prophecy (Zech.14:3-9). So Luke, who is also the author of Acts, is consistent as well when he states "the vicinity of Bethany," which included the Mount of Olives. 1 My Savior ascended to heaven, A mansion for me to prepare Hes coming some day in His glory And take me to dwell with Him there. Bethany is a village on the Mount of Olives about two miles east of Jerusalem (John 11:18). Luke's expanded account is consistent with the ascension at the Mount of Olives. Besides, Mark uses the term "after" (GK meta) but this does not give us an exact time or place. But the words in Mark do give a very abbreviated account of what actually transpired (compare Mark 16:12-19 to Luke 24:13-52). Regarding the verses in the Gospel of Mark, the earliest manuscripts do not contain Mark 16:9-20. While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven.Īcts 1:12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day's walk from the city.Īctually, Matthew does not mention the ascension, but the words of Matthew 28:18-20 were spoken at the "mountain where Jesus had told them to go" (probably Mount Tabor, the probable site of the Transfiguration). Luke 24:50-51 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. Mark 16:19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. When they saw him, they worshiped him but some doubted. Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, I have seen the Lordand that he had said these things to her. But when you read in Luke 16:22 that the beggar died. Jesus said to her, Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’. Matthew 28:16-20 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. That is, except Jesus Christ, who came down from Heaven (John 3:13).
