THE APPEARANCE OF JESUS 1). Jesus appeared to people from the day of his resurrection until his ascension forty days later. Ten distinct appearances are recorded in the Scriptures. They were at different places, times, and to different people. Jesus spoke, ate, drank, and embraced people. The eyewitnesses were convinced of his appearances. Finally, we are told that about five hundred people saw Jesus during this post-resurrection period. This constitutes credible, eye-witness testimony. 2). One explanation used to dismiss these sightings is hallucinations. This sounds like a plausible explanation until one realizes the data surrounding hallucinations supplied by modern medicine. As you look at this data you see that calling the appearance of Jesus mere hallucinations is impossible. His resurrection transformed them from scared renegades to powerful leaders of the first church. 2). Changed lives of people; yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Scripture Matthew 28 Mark 16 Luke 24 John 20-21 Other verses about the resurrection: Acts 1: 1-11 1 Corinthians 15: 14 Ephesians 1: 19-20 Jesus appearances reported in the New Testament after resurrection- The primary accounts of the resurrection are in the Gospels: the last chapter of Matthew, of Mark, and of Luke, as well as the last two chapters of John. All these accounts agree that Jesus was killed by crucifixion and placed in a tomb. After observing the Sabbath, some of Jesus' female followers returned to the tomb, to complete the burial rites. When they arrived they discovered that the body had gone, and returned with some of the male disciples. Jesus then makes a series of appearances to the disciples, with the most notable being to Thomas and the other disciples in the upper room (Luke 20:26-31), along the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-32) and beside the Sea of Galilee to reinstate Peter (John 21:1-23). His final appearance is reported as being forty days after the resurrection when he ascended into heaven (Luke 24:44-49). The followings are reported:
1 Corinthians 15
Elijah brought the widows son back to life. Lazarus (Some may argue that being brought back to life is not the same as resurrection, as those brought back to life eventually die again.) Jesus Christ is believed by many to be the first fruit of the resurrection then after him it is said 'that many of the saints arouse and were seen by many.'
No-one was present to witness the actual event. Mary Magdelene was the sole person to see him at the tomb. Surprinfg isn't it? ==== No one could have seen the resurrection unless they were in the tomb with Christ. Jesus was in a tomb enclosed by a huge stone. However, many were present to see Jesus die. His mother, another Mary, John, Roman guards and whomever else watched. No one doubts that Christ died. While no one witnessed Christ actually rise from the dead, hundreds of people saw Him after His resurrection. And none of the witnesses, I believe over 400, doubted His resurrection either.
Acts 1:33To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: The Ascension is recorded as having occurred immediately after this statement by Luke is Acts 1, (see verses 9 - 11) who, in his typical chronological fashion, outlines the time frame involved in Jesus appearances between the resurrection and the ascension.
Jesus never said that, because He is not the way to salvation, He is the salvation Luke 2:30 - "For mine eyes have seen thy salvation", and He is the only way to God, John 14:6- "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." How many times Jesus said one thing or another we cannot know, but if He said it once, it is enough to bet your life on it.
at most once sometimes none. for example for the roman centurion the centurion told jesus that he did not have to come to do the miracle the centurion needed, but just say it was done and it would be; because of jesus authority. no prayer said at all. the centurion had authority and recognized that jesus did too. jesus commented on this that he had not seen so much faith in any of the jews as he saw in that gentile roman centurion.
Jesus was spotted the very day of His resurrection.
The resurrection of Jesus is important to Christians because Christians see it as the resurrection that will (hopefully) one day be theirs and because it shows that Jesus did not surrender to death. The resurrection is seen by Christians as Jesus's victory over evil; evil had tried to kill Jesus, but he came back from the dead.
The four gospels and Acts of the Apostles provide various different versions of Jesus meeting some of his followers after his resurrection, but none of them makes any mention of any independent witnesses ever seeing Jesus with any of his followers.
A:In his epistles, Paul seems to have believed in a spiritual resurrection of Jesus, in other words believing that the resurrection and the ascension to heaven were one and the same. When he describes the appearances of Jesus to Cephas, James and the disciples, he makes no distinction with the presumably spiritual or even allegorical appearance to himself. Paul never seems to believe that the risen Jesus could be seen in the flesh. The New Testament gospels speak of a physical resurrection, because the body of Jesus was no longer in the tomb and they go to great pains to prove that Jesus' resurrection was real and in the flesh.
Prior to the Resurrection, the disciples did not fully understand who Jesus was. After His death, none of them believed that He would live again.It was only when they saw Him bodily and had his identity confirmed that they believed. What they witnessed turned them from fearful men hiding from the Jewish authorities into bold witnesses of what they had seen and who Jesus really was. Many of them would suffer greatly for sticking to their testimony.
The focus of the gospel is Jesus Christ. He is the central figure in Christianity and is seen as the embodiment of the good news of salvation for humanity through his life, death, and resurrection.
After the meeting between Jesus and Nicodemus at night. Nothing else is mentioned in the bible.Another answer:Nicodemus is mentioned twice more after his clandestine meeting with Jesus (John 7:50 and John 19:39), but scripture doesn't reveal what "became" of him after Jesus' resurrection. He is last seen providing the "myrrh and aloes" with which to treat Jesus' body for burial.

Yes, Catholics believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ as described in the Bible. They adhere to the belief that Jesus rose from the dead three days after his crucifixion, which is seen as a central tenet of their faith.
The author traditionally known as Luke says that Jesus rose bodily to heaven. In the Gospel of Luke, this occurred near Bethany on the evening of his resurrection. In Acts of the Apostles, written some time later, Jesus rose bodily to heaven after forty days. All the gospels in their present form also say that Jesus was seen at least once by the disciples and by some women.
It is not told how many time he was seen by his disciples. Only events that relate to his teachings are recorded in scripture.
