[John 20:24] Thomas called Didymus aka Doubting Thomas because when the disciples told him they had seen Jesus, Thomas would not believe them unless he had tangible proof which he got 8 days later when Jesus reappeared.
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.
they wer afraid to be arrested so they hid in a place
Five people who saw the risen Lord Jesus include Mary Magdalene, who encountered Him outside the tomb; the disciples on the road to Emmaus; Peter, who had a personal meeting with the risen Christ; Thomas, who famously doubted until he saw Jesus; and the group of disciples gathered in a room when Jesus appeared to them. These encounters are recorded in the New Testament and highlight key moments of Jesus' post-resurrection appearances.
the eleven disciples. in Galilee
On the road to Emmaus
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.
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.
The women who went to the tomb early in the morning on the third day after Jesus' crucifixion were the first to encounter the resurrected Jesus. They were told by an angel at the tomb that Jesus had risen from the dead and instructed to inform the disciples.
The disciples to sinned like all of us. Judas Iscariot betrayed Christ. Peter denied Jesus thrice. and Thomas doubted that it was the risen christ who the other s had seen.
Jesus appeared to many of his disciples. It was described as stunning to many of them, some could not believe it was Jesus speaking to them. Others saw and believed right away and knew that he had risen from the dead.
Jesus met two of his new disciples (not apostles) there and walked with them! They were blinded by their own sorrow that Jesus had died and didn't recognize Him. At the end other their journey they finally recognized Him and went back to Jerusalem to see the 11 disciples and told them Jesus had risen from the dead.
