In The Lost Books of the Bible, there is a mention of the Ascension by Jesus himself. Mark also mentions the Ascension of Jesus in Chapter 16:19 stating “And the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God.” And it came to pass, whilst he blessed them he departed from them, and was carried up to heaven.” St. The verses state “And he led them out as far as Bethania: and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
