The usual biblical sequence is:

1. Jesus rose from the dead.
2. He appeared several times to his followers.
3. He ate with them, taught them, and reassured them that he was really alive.
4. He then ascended to heaven.

What happened next

The post-resurrection appearances are described as real encounters, not just visions, and the accounts say Jesus showed his wounds, spoke with people, and even shared meals. Christian sources also say his ascension happened 40 days after the resurrection.
