Acts 1:9-11
Note:
That the four Gospels are sometimes said to be death stories with long introductions is verified by Burridge who observes, “Nearly a sixth of the gospel [of John] is taken up with Jesus’ arrest, trial, death and resurrection appearances, chapters 18-21.”
Burridge, Richard. What are the Gospels: A Comparison with Graeco-Roman Biography (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans 2004), 225.
It is Martin Kähler who is credited with the statement, the Gospels are death stories with long introductions. Cf., Martin Kähler, The So-called Historical Jesus and the Historic Biblical Christ. Translated by C. Braaten (Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1964), 80.
