--John 20:26-29.
[285]Some days thereafter he appeared on the shores of Galilee to seven
of his disciples who had gone back to fishing.--John 21:1-13.
[286]A little later he appeared to the eleven disciples on a mountain
near Galilee.--Matthew 28:16-20.
[287]A short time thereafter he again appeared to a company of more than
five hundred of his followers, gathered by appointment, in Galilee.
--1 Corinthians 15:6.
[288]He again appeared to the apostle James only.--1 Corinthians 15:7.
[289]Then he appeared for the last time on the side of the Mount of
Olives to his disciples at the time of his ascension.--Luke 24:50,51;
Acts 1:6-9.
[290]The question will arise in the minds of many, Did he appear in a
spirit body or a human body, and how did he get the body if it was not
the one in which he was crucified? We may be sure that he did not arise
from the dead with a human body, because on one of these occasions he
appeared to the disciples when they were in a room with the doors
fastened. (John 20:19-26) The only answer is that now, as a divine
being, he had the power to create a body and clothing and appear at any
time and upon any occasion that he desired. Mary supposed him to be a
gardener; two of the disciples who walked with him thought he was a
stranger in the community. Again, none of the disciples recognized him
by his body on the sea of Galilee; likewise on other occasions when he
appeared unto them.
