The witnesses of Jesus after his resurrection were his disciples, including Peter, James, John, and others who saw him alive after his crucifixion.
The witnesses of the resurrection were Mary Magdalene, other women, and the disciples of Jesus. They saw the empty tomb and encountered the risen Jesus.
According to the Bible, Jesus was seen by over 500 people after his resurrection.
After his resurrection, Jesus was seen by his disciples, Mary Magdalene, and other followers.
Prior to the Resurrection, the disciples did not fully understand who Jesus was. After His death, none of them believed that He would live again.It was only when they saw Him bodily and had his identity confirmed that they believed. What they witnessed turned them from fearful men hiding from the Jewish authorities into bold witnesses of what they had seen and who Jesus really was. Many of them would suffer greatly for sticking to their testimony.
Just like a court room has witnesses who tells the jury what happened or what they saw, in the same way the Apostles did the same for Jesus Christ, when they witnessed his miracles, his teachings, and his death and resurrection. Also in Christendom, to be "a witness" means to tell others about Jesus Christ and the things that He did and said.
Yes, according to the Bible, several people saw Jesus after his resurrection, including his disciples, Mary Magdalene, and others.
No-one was present to witness the actual event. Mary Magdelene was the sole person to see him at the tomb. Surprinfg isn't it? ==== No one could have seen the resurrection unless they were in the tomb with Christ. Jesus was in a tomb enclosed by a huge stone. However, many were present to see Jesus die. His mother, another Mary, John, Roman guards and whomever else watched. No one doubts that Christ died. While no one witnessed Christ actually rise from the dead, hundreds of people saw Him after His resurrection. And none of the witnesses, I believe over 400, doubted His resurrection either.
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.
Not only did he believe in the resurection, he saw and spoke with Jesus shortly after. He recorded this in his epistle to the church at Corinth(Corinthians 14)
All of those that saw what happened.
The great evidence of his resurrection was that he showed himself alive to his apostles; being alive, he showed himself and they saw him. After his resurrection he gave the disciples the commission to go and preach the gospel.
