What happened when Jesus saw his disciples after rising from the dead?

Answer 1

In Luke's Gospel, Jesus appeared to all eleven apostles gathered together in a room (Luke 24:33) and showed them his hands and feet, then ate a piece of broiled fish and some honeycomb, so that they knew he was real. He then led the disciples out to the village of Bethany, where he was taken up bodily to heaven on the evening of his resurrection.

In John's Gospel, Jesus first appeared to ten of the apostles gathered together in a room (John 20:19), without Thomas present (20:24), and showed them his hands and his side, so that they knew he was Jesus. He then breathed on them and gave them the Holy Ghost. Eight days later, he again appeared to all eleven apostles in the same room (20:26) and showed Thomas his wounds so that Thomas would also believe. Afterwards, Jesus appeared to the disciples at the Sea of Galilee.

Answer 2

A:What happened after Jesus saw the disciples differs from gospel to gospel:

In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus sent a message with the women for the disciples to meet him in Galilee. He appeared to the disciples in a mountain in Galilee and commanded them to go forth and teach what he had taught.

In Luke's Gospel, Jesus appeared to the 11 disciples on the evening of his resurrection, at a meal in an upper room in Jerusalem, after which he led them on the road towards Bethany, where he blessed them and was then carried up bodily to heaven.

In John's Gospel, Jesus appeared to 10 of the disciples on the evening of his resurrection, at a meal in an upper room, and showed them his wounds. Eight days later, when Thomas was now present, he appeared again to all 11 disciples and Thomas believed. His last appearance to the disciples, according to this gospel, was at the Sea of Galilee, where he told the disciples to throw their nets out the other side, and they caught many fish.

Mark's Gospel, the first New Testament 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, Jesus never appeared to the disciples. The 'Long Ending' was added much later to more or less harmonise with parts of Matthew and Luke. Here, he now appears to the disciples as they were at a meal, presumably in the upper room in Jerusalem but it could have been in the mountain in Galilee, and tells them to go forth into the world and preach the gospel. And they went forth and preached everywhere.
