Where in the scriptures did Jesus appear to Peter after His resurrection?

Answer 1

Mark's Gospel is inconclusive. In its original form, Jesus did not appear to anyone after his resurrection. The "Long Ending" (verses 16:9-25) was added much later to harmonise more or less with Matthew and Luke, and says that Jesus appeared to "the two" on the road, but these could have been the two women of Matthew's Gospel or the two men of Luke's. He the nappeared to the disciples in the upper room, which would have included Peter.

Matthew's Gospel says that Jesus only appeared to the disciples in a mountain in Galilee, and once again Peter would have been present.

Luke's Gospel says that on the day of his resurrection Jesus appeared to two disciples walking along the road, and one of these could have been Peter. He then appeared to the disciples in the upper room, on the same day.

John's Gospel says that Jesus appeared to ten of the disciples in the upper room on the day of his resurrection, then a few days later to all eleven of the remaining disciples. He finally appeared to the disciples by the Sea of Galilee. Peter was present on each occasion.

Paul says that Jesus was seen by Peter, then the twelve (not eleven, as in the gospels), then by more than 500, most of whom were still alive, then by James and all the apostles. However, he does not say just when this was, and indicates that the appearances were spiritual.

Answer 2

The Apostle Peter was quite active especially after the Day of Pentecost when he received the Holy Spirit within him. He preached and taught at Jerusalem, traveled to Samaria leading many to Christ, later he was responsible in leading Cornelius and his family to Jesus, he wrote to letters which are now in the New Testament, and I am sure he did many things of which we are not aware of in witnessing for Christ. The Book of Acts has quite a section on Peter.

Answer 3

Jesus Christ appeared to Simon Peter in Matthew 28:16-20, Mark 16:14-20, Luke 24:36-53, and John 21:1-23.
