And seeing the multitude he went up into a mountain..Matthew 5, he opened his mouth and taught them.
Mount olive
Jesus was speaking to his disciples. (Matthew 16:24) Then Jesus said to his disciples. (Matthew 16:28) Truly I say to YOU that there are some of those standing here that will not taste death at all until first they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom."
A:Only in Mark's Gospel (14:28) and Matthew's Gospel (26:32) does Jesus tell the disciples that he will see them in Galilee. In Mark's Gospel (16:7), the young man inside the tomb repeats the message that Jesus had previously given the disciples, to meet him in Galilee. Matthew's Gospel omits the account of the young man but, in Matthew 28:10, the risen Jesus tells the women to tell the disciples that he will see them in Galilee.It is only in Matthew's Gospel that Jesus really did meet the disciples in a mountain in Galilee, just as he had told them he would. Mark's Gospel originally ended at verse 16:8 with the young man telling the women that Jesus was risen and they fled in terror, telling no one; the 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20), which is much closer to Luke's Gospel, was added to Mark's Gospel much later and was therefore unknown to the author of Matthew. So, this author was following Mark's Gospel as closely as possible, and his addition of the resurrection appearances (28:9-10; 28:17-20) reflects this.
Scripture does not name the mountain. It says Jesus took Peter, James and John up to a high mountain. See Matthew 17:1 and Mark 9:2.
Jesus came to build His Church (see Matthew 16:18) which His disciples were called Christian (see Acts 11:26). Islam and its Muslim adherents did not begin until nearly 600 years afterwards.
Jesus went to Galilee to begin his ministry, fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah and spreading the message of salvation to the people in that region. Galilee was known for being a diverse and populous area, making it an ideal place to start his teachings and gather followers.
AnswerIn Matthew's Gospel, the only occasion that the disciples saw the risen Jesus was in the mountain in Galilee. It seems they believed that he was real, because Jesus had told the women to say to the disciples that they were to go to Galilee where he would meet them. Nevertheless, after they saw Jesus, some believed and some doubted. Mark's Gospel originally ended at verse 16:8, with the young man telling the women that Jesus was risen and the fled, telling no one. In this original account, the disciples did not see the resurrected Jesus. The "Long Ending" (verses 16:9-25) was added much later to provide a resurrection story that more or less harmonised with both Matthew and Luke. First, he appeared to two of them - either the two women of Matthew or the two men of Luke. They went and told the disciples, who did not believe. Jesus then appeared to the disciples and upbraided them for not believing the other two, and told them to preach his gospel. There is no suggestion here in the "Long Ending "that they thought he was a spirit.In Luke's Gospel, Jesus appeared to the eleven at a meal on the evening of his resurrection, and they did at first think that he was a spirit.In John's Gospel, Jesus appeared to ten of the eleven at a meal and showed them his wounds. They did not think that he was a spirit and were glad to see him. However, Thomas was not present, and doubted. Eight days later, Jesus appeared to all eleven in the same room, and Thomas believed.
They didn't. The disciples saw Jesus as a man, and God's chosen Messiah. It was the false prophet Paul who perverted the message of Jesus.
No the disciples did not understand him when he said you will see me for a short time only.
Matthew 4:1,2 (fasting) Mark 1:35 (likely fasting) Luke 6:12 (likely fasting) It's a fair speculation that after the events in the desert in Matthew 4, Jesus and His disciples didn't, as a rule, fast. (See Matthew 9:14, Mark 2:18, Luke 5:33) Jesus explained why in the verses following those just cited.
In Capernaum
Actually it was Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus and God's voice was heard. This was with the disciples Peter, James and John. see Matthew 17:1-8,Mark9:2-13,Luke 9:28-36.
No. According to scripture, John the Baptist knew Jesus was messiah.
