Last Sunday, I also mentioned that the Bible records 10 different appearances to people during the 40 day period between his resurrection & ascension. He was really trying to accomplish 2 things:
- Prove he was physically risen
- Pass on some final instructions
Jesus' 10 appearances (of which there's a great chart available on pg. 91 of The Bible Knowledge Commentary) are as follows:
- Mary Magdalene
- A group of women
- Peter
- 2 disciples (on the road to Emmaus)
- 10 apostles (without Judas)
- 11 apostles (with Judas)
- 7 apostles (on a fishing trip)
- 500+ people (on a mountain in Galilee)
- James (Jesus' half brother)
- 11 apostles (at the Mount of Olives)
