According to the gospels he appeared to the Apostles and to many of the disciples and then 40 days after his Resurrection He gathered them on Mount Olivet.
The language used by the Evangelists to describe the Ascension must be interpreted according to usage. To say that He was taken up or that He ascended, does not necessarily imply that they locate heaven directly above the earth; no more than the words "sitteth on the right hand of God" mean that this is His actual posture. In disappearing from their view "He was raised up and a cloud received Him out of their sight" (Acts 1:9), and entering into glory He dwells with the Father in the honour and power denoted by the scripture phrase.
It is narrated in Mark 16:19, Luke 24:51
and in the first chapter of the Acts of the Apostles.
