AD 33 · Life of Christ

The ascension

After forty days of appearances, Jesus was lifted up from the Mount of Olives, and the angels promised, This Jesus will come in the same way as you saw him go (Acts 1:9-11). AD 33.

📖 Acts 1:1–3

1In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach, 2until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen. 3After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
