Les Feldick Bible Study

How many days did Jesus appear to His disciples after His resurrection before His ascension?

Scripture states that after His passion, Jesus showed Himself alive to His disciples by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days. Acts 1:3 is the only place covering the period from the Resurrection until the Ascension, followed by ten days until Pentecost.

Les teaches that Acts chapter 1, verse 3 is the only verse in Scripture providing the time element between the Resurrection and the Ascension. There, Jesus showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days. After the Ascension, it was ten more days until the Day of Pentecost. Les also notes that the Resurrection—that He arose bodily—is a doctrine many struggle with, yet the Book says it.
