This depends on which gospel is relied on for an account of what Jesus did:

Mark's Gospel originally 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 Mark with Matthew and Luke.

Matthew's Gospel says that Jesus met the two women returning from the tomb and said to tell the disciples to go to Galilee. Jesus met them in Galilee and left final instructions to preach to the world.

Luke's Gospel says that Jesus met two on the road to Emmaus and had a meal with them and disappeared from their sight. That evening, Jesus appeared to the disciples in a room in Jerusalem, showed them his wounds and ate a piece of fish, proving that he was not just a spirit. He led them out onto the road to Bethany, where he ascended bodily to heaven, the same evening as his resurrection.

John's Gospel says that Jesus appeared near the tomb to Mary Magdalene, who thought he was the gardener. That evening, he appeared to ten of the apostles in a room, with Thomas missing. Eight days later, he again appeared to all the apostles together in the room and showed Thomas that he really was Jesus. He next appeared at the Sea of Galilee, where he told the disciples to cast their nets on the other side, and they caught many fish. He did other things, to many to write in a book.

Acts of the Apostles, although by the same author as Luke's Gospel, says that Jesus appeared on earth for forty days, providing many proofs that he was risen. He then told the disciples not to leave Jerusalem, and ascended bodily to heaven.
