After Jesus rose from the dead, He "presented Himself alive" to the women near the tomb to His disciples and to more than 500 others. In the days following His resurrection, Jesus taught His disciples about the kingdom of God.
Forty days after the resurrection, Jesus and His disciples went to Mount Olivet, near Jerusalem. There, Jesus promised His followers that they would soon receive the Holy Spirit, and He instructed them to remain in Jerusalem until the Spirit had come. Then Jesus blessed them, and as He gave the blessing, He began to ascend into heaven. The account of Jesus' ascension is found in Luke 24:50-51 and Acts 1:9-11.
