According to the various biblical accounts, James was not the first to see the risen Jesus.

According to Paul, Cephas was the first to see the risen Jesus, then the twelve, then more than 500 others, and only then did James and all the apostles see him.

Mark's Gospel, in its original form, does not say that he appeared to anyone. The women simply saw an empty tomb, where a young man told them that Jesus had risen. There were no appearances by the resurrected Jesus, but verses 16:9-20 (the 'Long Ending') were added by a later author, with Mary Magdalene being mentioned as the first he appeared to. Verse 16:12 goes on to say that he "appeared to two of them, as they walked". This interpolation harmonises well, as it can be read that Jesus appeared to either the two women of Matthew's Gospel or the two men of Luke's Gospel.

Matthew's Gospel says the women who had gone to the tomb (Mary Magdalene and the 'other Mary') saw Jesus while on the way to tell the disciples of their experience.

In Luke's Gospel, two men, Cleopas and (presumably) Peter, were the first to see Jesus, on the road near Jerusalem.

In John's Gospel, Mary Magdalene was the first to see Jesus.

Does the bible really say Jesus rose on the first day of the week?

He rested on the 7th day, which was the Jewish Sabbath. It was then and still is Saturday. On the morning of the first day of the week we are told the women came to the tomb and found that Jesus had risen. That would have been Sunday. See the related question below.


Who were the first two people to see Christ after He rose from the dead?

In 1 Corinthians, Paul says that Jesus was seen by Cephas (Peter), then the twelve, then by more than 500, most of whom were still alive, then by James and all the apostles, and finally by himself. In this passage, Paul implies that the appearances were all of the same nature, with no suggestion that the appearances to Cephas, the twelve, James or the apostles were somehow more real than the spiritual appearance he experienced. Certainly Paul was claiming to have seen Jesus after his ascension, but he also seems to have believed that the others only saw Jesus after his ascension, as well.Acts of the Apostles also describes Stephen as claiming to see both Jesus and God seated in heaven above him.
