The Ascension
Scripture
Luke 24:50-53
Commentary
Luke does not give us much detail on the
ascension in his gospel. He gives greater detail in his
continued historical account in Acts 1.
The disciples were previously told not to leave
Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit comes upon them. While we
are told that Jesus ascended from Bethany and that the disciples
returned to Jerusalem we should note the proximity of the two
locations were obviously close as were many other towns in
relation to Jerusalem.
