Jesus said in 3 Nephi 15:1 that he had taught the people in Bountiful “the things” that he taught his disciples in Jerusalem before he ascended into heaven.As previously discussed in the set of notes addressing 3 Nephi 10:18, that ascension was most likely at the end of Jesus’s 40-day ministry among his disciples and the many others to whom he appeared. He ascended, waited until the time was right—not very long—and then he appeared in the New World shortly thereafter.
