The term "ascension" refers to Jesus' return to heaven, which is detailed in <a href="/acts/1-9.htm">Acts 1:9-11</a>. This event marks the completion of His earthly mission and the beginning of His heavenly reign. The anticipation of this event underscores the divine plan and purpose that Jesus was fulfilling. The use of "approached" suggests a divine timetable, emphasizing God's sovereignty over the events of Jesus' life. This moment is a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, such as <a href="/psalms/110.htm">Psalm 110:1</a>, which speaks of the Messiah's exaltation.Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem The phrase "resolutely set out" highlights Jesus' determination and commitment to His mission. Despite knowing the suffering and crucifixion that awaited Him in Jerusalem, Jesus willingly chose to go. This determination is a testament to His obedience to the Father's will, as seen in <a href="/philippians/2-8.htm">Philippians 2:8</a>. Jerusalem is significant as the city where many prophets were martyred (<a href="/matthew/23-37.htm">Matthew 23:37</a>) and where Jesus would fulfill His role as the sacrificial Lamb (<a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>).

The noun is peculiar to St. Luke, and is derived from the verb used of the Ascension, in <a href="/mark/16-19.htm" title="So then after the Lord had spoken to them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.">Mark 16:19</a>, <a href="/1_timothy/3-16.htm" title="And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.">1Timothy 3:16</a>. It can here refer to nothing else, and the passage, as occurring in the midst of a narrative, is remarkable. It is as though St. Luke looked on all that follows as seen in the light of the Ascension. Every word and act was consciously a step forward to that great consummation.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/9.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 51-56. - The Samaritan insult to the Lord. The Master's reception of it. Verse 51. - And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. This is a very solemn introduction to this great section of St. Luke's writing. It at once marks off all that now follows as a winding-up of the earthly ministry. The expression, "that he should be received up," is simply the rendering of one Greek word, which signifies "ascension." The Passion, the cross, and the grave are passed over here, and the glorious goal alone is spoken cf. What a lesson of comfort is here suggested! The words in the Greek original, "he steadfastly set his face," are evidently literally translated from a well-known Aramaic (Hebrew) expression. <a href="/commentaries/luke/9-51.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>As ἐν (en) Preposition <a href="/greek/strongs_1722.htm">Strong's 1722: </a> In, on, among.
