Luke 24: 36-53
One other thing to be observed from this session, which I lost a bit in the last reflection by not including more of the immediately preceding verses, is the reason for the disciples to return to Jerusalem with great joy. In Luke's gospel account, the ascension is recorded as having occurred immediately following Jesus' appearance to the gathered disciples following the report of the two disciples from Emmaus. So in this account, their joy may well be rooted in the immediacy of the wonderful news that Jesus is no longer dead.
