Out of curiosity, why doesn't Luke get his story straight on when Jesus flew up into the sky to be with his father?
Quote:Luke 24:51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
Acts 1:3 To whom also he [Jesus] shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
So, was it the same day or 40 days later?
If the two accounts were written by the same author, why couldn't he get that part of the story straight? You'd think that would be a pretty important detail.
