that this event took place, it’s difficult
to piece together the exact details and
chronology of Jesus’ ascension.
(There is some question about whether the verses above were later additions to the book of Mark,see the useful discussion of this question in the NIV Quest Study Bible.)You can also read about Jesus’ ascension in these passages:
Luke 24: 50-61
Acts 1: 9-11
In addition to these accounts,
you can find references to Christ’s ascension
throughout the New Testament.
Some of these references occur before the event—
for example, Jesus’ mention of his future ascension in John 20: 17.
Many of the epistles make reference to the ascension after the fact—for example, Ephesians 1: 19-20 and 1 Timothy 3: 16.
You can find a complete list of ascension references in the Dictionary of Bible Themes.
