Mark's Gospel, the first gospel to be written, 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. In this account, Jesus did not appear after he rose from the dead. The 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20) was added after the other gospels had been written, and most closely follows Luke, in having Jesus appear, first to Mary Magdalene, then to "two of them", and finally to the disciples once at a meal.

In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus appeared to the two women, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, hurrying back to tell the disciples, and later showed himself to the disciples at a mountain in Galilee, where he sent them forth to preach to all nations.


In Luke's Gospel, only Jesus appeared to two disciples on the road to Emmaeus, then to the eleven disciples once at a meal in an upper room on the evening of his resurrection, then took them out on the road to Bethany where he ascended bodily to heaven.


John's Gospel was loosely based on Luke but changes the account of the risen Jesus. He appeared once to Mary Magdalene standing in the garden, then to ten of the disciples at a meal on the evening of his resurrection, then eight days later to all eleven in the same room, and finally to the disciples by the Sea of Galilee.


Some of these accounts exclude the others, while at least two are the same appearance: Matthew's appearance at the mountain in Galilee can not be totalled with the others, as it excludes the possibility of these appearances (and vice-versa); Mark's (Long Ending) appearance is the same as Luke's appearance; strictly speaking, the two appearances John describes in the upper room are not the same as Luke's appearance in the same room, but most readers would see either one of them as matching Luke's account. Nevertheless, the ascension to heaven in Luke excludes John's account. Each gospel should therefore be treated separately , so that Jesus was seen by the disciples once in each of Matthew, Mark's Long Ending and Luke, but three times in John.


Paul's epistles, which were written before the gospels, say (1 Corinthians 15:3-8) that Jesus was seen by Cephas (Peter), then the twelve, then by more than 500, then by James and all the apostles. For Paul, the 'twelve' seem to be a different group than the apostles, and the appearances seem to have been spiritual, in the same way as the later appearance to Paul himself. If we do treat the 'twelve' as the same as the apostles (although the gospels would allow only eleven of them), then Jesus showed himself twice to disciples as a group.


Acts of the Apostles, written around the end of the first century by the same author as Luke's Gospel, says that Jesus was on earth 40 days and was seen by many before he ascended bodily to heaven near Jerusalem.
