When did Jesus ascend to heaven?
This article explores the apparent contradiction between Luke 23.43 and John 20.17 concerning Jesus' ascension. It proposes that the term "today" indicates the certainty of the divine promise rather than an immediate action, highlighting the harmony of the Gospels when examined in their eschatological context.
1 Thessalonians 4.13-17 (King James Version) :But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

The ascension of Jesus
The ascension of Jesus, which took place on May 12, 33, on the Mount of Olives, concludes his earthly ministry. Lifted up in a cloud, he is received into the presence of the Father while two angels announce his glorious return. This event, recorded only by Luke, marks the passage to Christ's heavenly ministry and grounds the eschatological hope of the early Church as it awaits the parousia.
Matthew 24.3 (King James Version) :And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
