§ 171. Our Lord is seen of James; then of all the Apostles. Jerusalem.

The title of this section in inserted, for the sake of preserving the series of Dr. Robinson, whose arrangement has been followed in this Harmony; but as the appearances of Jesus which are here referred to, are related only by Luke in Acts, i. 3-8, and by Paul in 1 Cor. xv. 7, the particular insertion of those passages is omitted, for the reasons already given. See § 137, note. The subject of this and the eleven preceding sections, respecting the resurrection of Jesus, is discussed in the Note on the Resurrection.

§ 172. The Ascension. Bethany.

Mark.Luke.
CH. XVI. 19, 20.CH. XXIV. 50-53.
19 So then, after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany:[311] and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

§ 173. Conclusion of John's Gospel.

John.
CH. XX. 30, 31.
30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book.
31 But these are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
CH. XXI. 25.
25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
