[278]On the day Jesus arose from the dead and on several occasions
thereafter he appeared unto his disciples and others who specially
loved him. He did not appear to them in the same body which was
crucified; nor with the same clothing in which he was buried. The
Scriptural account is that the clothing and a napkin were folded up and
laid aside in the tomb. Had he appeared in the same body that was
crucified, those who were with him for three and a half years would have
readily recognized him. Surely Mary would have known him. He appeared to
her as a gardener on one occasion, and only when he spoke her name in
the tone so familiar to her did she recognize him. The Scriptural
account of his appearing to the disciples and other witnesses is briefly
noted as follows:
[279]He appeared on Sunday morning, early in the day of his
resurrection, to Mary Magdalene near the sepulchre at Jerusalem.--John
20:11-18.
[280]On the same Sunday morning, to the women returning from the
sepulchre.--Matthew 28:9, 10.
[281]On the same Sunday morning to Simon Peter alone near Jerusalem.
--Luke 24:34.
[282]On the same day to two disciples going to Emmaus, between Jerusalem
and Emmaus.--Luke 24:13-21.
[283]On the same Sunday evening to the apostles (except Thomas) at
Jerusalem.--John 20:19-25.
[284]Thereafter he appeared again one week later (Sunday evening) to the
apostles, Thomas this time being present, at Jerusalem.
