How many times did Jesus appear after his crucifixion?
The story of Jesus appearing to others after his crucifixion and resurrection differs from source to source:Mark's GospelMark's Gospel was the earliest written record and should therefore be the most accurate account. However, in its original form, it finished at verse 16:8, when the young man told the women that Jesus was risen, and they fled in terror telling no one. Jesus did not appear to anyone after his crucifixion and resurrection.The 'Long Ending' (there was also, at one stage, a 'Short Ending') was added much later to add the necessary resurrection appearances. Here Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene, then to "the two of them on the road" (either the two women of Matthew or the two men of Luke), then to the eleven as they sat at a meal - a total of three times.Matthew's GospelMatthew's Gospel says that Jesus appeared only once, to the eleven disciples at a mountain in Galilee, where he gave a parting speech. In this gospel there was no appearance in Jerusalem, so Jesus only appeared once, in Galilee.Luke's GospelLuke's Gospel says that Jesus appeared to the two men on the road to Emmaeus, then to the eleven at a meal in the upper room in Jerusalem, after which he led them out towards Bethany, where he was taken up bodily to heaven. In this gospel, Jesus appeared two times. There could be no further appearances, because he ascended to heaven on the same day as his resurrection.John's GospelJohn's Gospel says that Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene, then to ten disciples in an upper room, then eight days later to all eleven disciples in the same room, then to the disciples by the Sea of Galilee. In this gospel, Jesus appeared four times.Acts of the ApostlesActs of the Apostles, by the same author as Luke's Gospel, but written a little later, says that the risen Jesus was on earth for forty days and was seen by many.
How many times did Jesus appear after he rose from the dead on Easter morning?
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.
Why did Jesus not have a New Testament?
Jesus could not have had a new testament because it was not written until many years after his death. The first New Testament was written about five to fifteen years after he had died, and risen, and gone to heaven.
Were the disciples of Jesus who wrote the New Testament biased?
Only in so much as eyewitnesses can be said to be biased.Previously, they were biased against the Resurrection since they did not believe it was possible for a crucified man to rise. This bias was overcome when they witnessed His risen body.The disciples had nothing to gain and everything - including their lives - to lose by recording and preaching their experiences so being biased or prejudiced was not of any benefit to them.
Where in the Bible does it say how many saw Jesus' ascension and how many saw Him resurrected?
The ascension of Jesus is only mentioned in Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apsotles, although the accounts differ. Luke 24:51 says that the ascension of Jesus was watched by the disciples on the evening of his resurrection. Acts of the Apostles, although by the same author, says (chapter 1) that Jesus acended to heaven forty days after his resurrection, in the presence of 'them', an undefined number of people.Each of the gospels gives a different account of how many times the Risen Jesus appeared, and how many saw him after his resurrection. The exception is Mark's Gospel, which in its original form ended at verse 16:8, with the young man telling the women that Jesus was risen and they told no one; the "Long Ending" (verses 16:9-20) was added long afterwards to provide the necessary resurrection appearances and to more or less harmonise Markwith Matthew and Luke.
The first recorded appearance of the risen Jesus was to?
the eleven disciples. in Galilee
After his resurrection Jesus appeared to disciples beside which sea?
The synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) are clear in saying that the risen Jesus did not appear to the disciples near the Sea of Galilee, but John' Gospel disputes this, saying that he appeared to the apostles beside the Sea of Galilee.
Did Judas see the resurrected Jesus?
A:In Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, written long before the first of the gospels, the risen Jesus appeared to the twelve (1 Cor 15:3-8) which can only mean that for Paul, Jesus was not betrayed by Judas Iscariot.The gospel story required a traitor, and that traitor was Judas Iscariot. In the gospels, when the risen Jesus appeared to the disciples, he appeared to the eleven. It would be inconceivable that the other disciples would have kept Judas in their midst to be seen by the risen Jesus. Now, Judas did not see Jesus.

Mary Magdalene, along with other women who included Joanna, Salome, and Mary, the mother of Jesus.

What did Jesus' friends notice about the risen Jesus?
A:According to the gospel stories in Luke and John, they simply did not recognise the risen Jesus, even thinking he was someone else altogether. In Luke 24:15ff, the two on the road to Emmaeus spent a good deal of time walking with and talking to Jesus but thought him to be a stranger.In John 20:15, Mary Magdalene thought Jesus to be the gardener. Later he showed the disciples his hands and feet, so they would know he was really Jesus. In chapter 21, the disciples were fishing and did not at first recognise Jesus when he spoke to them, but the beloved disciple was the first to realise who he was.
When did Jesus command his disciples to be silent?
Jesus told his disciples on a couple of occasions to tell no man of what they had seen - as in - Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. (Matthew 16.20) And - And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead. (Matthew 17.9)
