Did Our Lady see the risen Jesus?

Answer 1

In the original gospel account of the Resurrection, that of Mark's Gospel, no one appears to have seen the risen Jesus, because the gospel originally ended at verse 16:8 when the young man tol the women that Jesus was risen and they fled in terror, telling no one. In the 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20) subsequently added to Mark's Gospel, Jesus appeared later to Mary Magdalene and then to "two of them as they walked" and finally to the disciples in the upper room, where he made some final, parting remarks. In the Long Ending, the two walking could be either the two women of Matthew's Gospel or the two men of Luke's Gospel. Unless Mary, mother of Christ, was one of the two, she never saw the risen Jesus.

In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary as they returned from the tomb. The gospel does not say who the 'other Mary' was, but it could have been Our Lady.

In Luke's Gospel, appeared only to the two men on the road to Emmaeus and then the disciples. Since he was taken bodily up into heaven on the very evening of his resurrection, Mary would not have seen Jesus.

In John's Gospel, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene and the disciples only.

In Acts of the Apostles, by the same author as Luke's Gospel but written somewhat later, Jesus remained on earth of forty days after his resurrection and was seen by many. It is most probable that Mary would have seen him.

Answer 2

Yes, according to Christian tradition, Our Lady, or the Virgin Mary, saw the risen Jesus after his resurrection. This moment is not specifically recorded in The Bible but is widely believed by many Christians based on the accounts of Mary Magdalene and other disciples encountering Jesus after his resurrection.

Answer 3

She saw him in the garden after he rose from the dead, but she did not actually see him rising from the dead.
