Jesus appeared at least ten times after His resurrection before He ascended into heaven. There were apparently many more appearances not recorded (see Jn. 20:30–31; 21:25).

1. He appeared to Mary Magdalene (Mk. 16:9–11; Jn. 20:11–18).

2. He appeared to the women running to tell the disciples about the empty tomb (Mt. 28:8–10).

3. He appeared to Peter, probably to assure him of his restoration (Lu. 24:34; 1 Co. 15:5).

4. He appeared to the two Emmaus disciples sometime in the early evening (Mk. 16:12; Lu. 24:13–42).

5. He appeared to the disciples with Thomas absent (Mk. 16:14; Lu. 24:36–43; Jn. 20:19–25).

6. One week later, He appeared to the disciples who had gone fishing (Jn. 20).

7. He appeared to 500 believers most of whom remain until now (1 Co. 15:6).

8. He appeared to the apostles (Mt. 28:16–20; Mk. 16:15–18).

9. He appeared to James, the Lord’s half-brother (1 Co. 15:7).

10. He appeared to the believers at His ascension (Mk. 16:19–20; Lu. 24:44–53; Ac. 1:3–12)
