Where did Jesus meet the disciples after the resurrection?

A:There are some different answers to this depending on the gospel relied on. The reason for this is that the first New Testament gospel to be written, now known as Mark's Gospel, originally ended at verse 16:8, with no appearances of the risen Jesus. When the authors of Matthew and Luke copied mark's Gospel, they had no guidance from Mark as to what happened next yet, working independent of each other, they both wanted to give their readers proof that Jesus had been raised from the dead. Because of a suggestion about Galilee earlier in Mark, Matthew has Jesus meet the disciples at a mountain in Galilee, where he said farewell and sent them to all nations to teach the gospel. Luke has Jesus meet the eleven at a meal in the upper room, in Jerusalem, then he took them out on the road to Bethany, where he was taken bodily up into heaven.John's Gospel was loosely based on Luke, but the Johannine community appears to have been involved in a minor dispute with a community that followed St Thomas as its patron. In the corresponding meeting, Jesus first met only ten of the disciples (with Thomas absent) and breathed on them, saying (John 20:22), "Receive ye the Holy Ghost." Not only did Thomas miss out on receiving the Holy Spirit (John's author was unaware of the account in Acts of the Apostles), but was shown to be a 'Doubting Thomas' when Jesus met all eleven disciples in the same room eight days later. After the two meetings in the upper room, Jesus met the disciples at the Sea of Galilee.The 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20) that we now have on Mark's Gospel more or less agrees with Luke and has Jesus meet the disciples at as meal in the upper room in Jerusalem.

Why did Jesus reveal himself to the two Marys before his disciples?

A:It is in Matthew's Gospel that Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were the first to see the risen Jesus, as they returned from the grave, having been told by an angel that he was not there. But each of the other gospels tells us a different account of the risen Jesus' first appearance. Mark's Gospel originally ended at verse 16:8, when he told the women that Jesus was risen and they fled in terror, telling no one. In this original version, the risen Jesus appeared to no one at all. The 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20) was added much later but says that early the same day, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene only.Luke's Gospel says that Jesus first appeared to two men as they walked on the road to Emmaus. They were Cleopas and possibly Peter.In John's Gospel, Jesus also first appeared to Mary Magdalene, but this time in the garden at the tomb, where she thought he was the gardener.


Where did Jesus go after saying goodbye to his disciples?

A:Matthew's Gospel: Jesus said goodbye to the disciples in a mountain in Galilee, instructing them to go forth and teach all nations. The gospel does not say where Jesus went, but that he would be with them always. Luke's Gospel: Jesus said goodbye to the disciples near Bethany on the evening of his resurrection, and was taken bodily up into heaven.John's Gospel: Jesus said goodbye to the disciples near the Sea of Galilee. The gospel does not say where Jesus went, but that the beloved disciple (commonly assumed to be John) would live until his return. The reference to Jesus' return suggests that Jesus went up to heaven. We can not say why Jesus did not return within the lifetime of the beloved disciple as promised.Mark's Gospel: This 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 gospel, Jesus did not say goodbye to the disciples. The 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20) was added much later, largely based on Luke's Gospel, and says that Jesus was taken up into heaven.Acts of the Apostles: Written by the same author as Luke's Gospel but some time later, this also says that Jesus was taken bodily up into heaven, but this time near Mount Olivet and rather long after the resurrection.

Why did sisters' message to Jesus simply state the fact of Lazarus' illness rather than urgently pleading for His presence?

Jesus knew of the urgency of Lazarus's illness. He delayed on purpose, in fact wanted to arrive too late. By the time Jesus arrived Lazarus had already been dead four days. If fact the body had begun decomposition and smelled terrible. Jesus waited this long for a reason. He wanted everyone to know that Lazarus was irrefutable dead. Once raised, nobody could say the dead man was just unconcious or comatose. Therefore, there was no other explaination for the resurrection of Lazarus. I only wish the bible could tell us where Lazarus was for those four days he laid in the tomb.


How long was lazarus dead?

The Bible doesn't elaborate on that as the event was to explain death as sleeping in the tomb (see John 11:11-14). This 'resurrection' was to show the people that Jesus truly is God and can raise the dead - which He will do for all who died at the Judgment process (not a sentencing trial but a chance to repent with full knowledge of God and His Law as it will be written upon their hearts - Ezekiel 11: 18-20).Popular teachings have the dead going immediately to either their reward in heaven or their eternal punishment in hell. This is not biblical but more philosophical (Egyptian, Greek and Babylonian). This example of Lazarus is just one of the teachings on death as sleep. In this event, Lazarus had not gone to either heaven or hell. He had been simply entombed, where he "slept" in death until Jesus called him out of the grave by a miraculous resurrection. It doesn't get any plainer than that.Various stories through the years had Lazarus living either until Jesus' resurrection or a full life of the time. No one knows for sure except that he, like all mankind is surely dead now awaiting the Judgment call.

Jesus dying on the cross for our sins is probably more important than how long he stayed. THough, the three days were important as well.

Is there any particular order to read Robert Heinlein's Lazarus Long series?

While the Lazarus Long character appears in several of Robert Heinlein's works, they are not necessarily part of a strict series that needs to be read in order. However, "Time Enough for Love" is often considered a key novel that introduces Lazarus Long and his background. Other Lazarus Long stories include "Methuselah's Children" and "The Number of the Beast."


What smell was Lazarus afraid to death of in the Bible?

From the Gospel of John Chapter 11 verse 17 and specifically verses 38-39, Lazarus was already dead. Jesus, standing outside Lazarus' tomb, told the men to pull the tomb stone away (back then, a tomb was like a cave with a stone rolled in front of it). Lazarus's sister, Martha, exclaimed to Jesus that by now Lazarus's body would stink or smell because Lazarus had been dead 4 days. Back then, there was no embalming, so a dead body stank quickly as it decomposed. Bodies would let off gases during decomposition, so if the men removed the tombstone, anyone nearby would have been hit with those gases.
