Jesus was crucfied and died on Good Friday, sunday he arose from the grave, what happened after that? Did?

Question

people actually ever see him after that, or did they witness the ascension into heaven.

Answer 1

Friend,

Christ Jesus met and spoke with many people after His resurrection.

He taught them, explaining the Scriptures, blessed them, and gave evidence of the fact that He actually had a real body. For example, He ate food. He revealed the scars from the nails in His hands and the spear wound in His side. He also demonstrated His supernatural power, entering a locked room, for example.

Eventually He did ascend, telling the disciples to wait in Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit came to indwell and empower them.

They saw Him ascend, and two angels informed them that He would return in the same way He ascended.

There's much more to all of this, though. Check out the last chapters of Matthew and Luke in particular, as well as the first couple of chapters of Acts.

May God bless you.

Answer 2

Using the Oxford Study Bible as a source, I would answer your question that an Angel rolled the stone away the day after Sabbath from the "tomb's" door and it was empty. Therefore Jesus was removed through stone or the stone was moved at an earlier time. The angel tells the women to go to Galilee to find Jesus, but when the women come out of the tomb Jesus is there. The women throw themselves at Jesus' feet, but no mention is made of wounds.

Therefore we don't know what really happened because even in this short paragraph there are contradictions of the story and it is being written decades later by a person that wasn't even there.

Why the Bible publishers threw away the pieces written by Mary, we'll never know.

Answer 3

The first gospel written, Mark, upon which Luke and Matthew based their Gospels, ends at 16:8 where the women have gone to the tomb, Jesus is gone, and young man they find there tells them Jesus has risen. Up to this point completely explainable by natural explanations, and in fact the gospel ends there in all the early manuscripts. Some years later someone redacts the 16th chapter and adds post-resurrection appearances, doubtless in response to skepticism that his disciples simply stole the body. And apparently the hysteria spreads with people having almost as many Jesus sightings as Elvis sightings. Which of course prompts the question, "Well if he's alive why not just show himself to everyone and prove he's the Messiah and Son of Man and have done with it?" A reasonable and rational question that had to be explained away with a lame assertion, "He ascended into heaven to take his throne next to the Father." But as Trinitarians know, Jesus is also the Father so he isn't really sitting at the right of himself or even in his own lap. Of course by the time Matthew and Luke are written much later, and then much, much later when John is written, someone has filled the missing details Of Jesus' life and afterlife, and we go from a relatively simple Jesus in Mark to one in John speaking of himself in full blown Greek theological language with Theology, Christology, Pneumatology and Soteriology which the Jesus in Mark barely brushes up against. In Mark we have some of the real Jesus and some from traditions and of Mark's own invention, and by the time we get to John even Jesus wouldn't recognize the divine being presented with fully developed church doctrine and dogma flowing out of his mouth.

Answer 4

He rose on Sunday, we seen by Mary, the two disciples on the Emmaus Road and 10 apostles

a week later Jesus was seen the next Sunday by all 11 apostles (Judas having died)
He gave the great commission

Jesus appeared to the apostles on a mountian of Gallillee at the end of Matthew He repeated the great commission

Jesus ascended and witnessed by the apostles
with two angels asked them why they were standing around staring into the air?? not preaching the gospel making disciples
Jesus having repeated the great commission

Later, Jesus appeared to James His half brother

Later, Jesus appreared to Saul of Tarsus, I believe at least three times Paul

Jesus appeared to the apostle John on the island of Patmos while John was in exile

Answer 5

Yes, the Apostles saw him several times. One of those times was when they were all in the upper room with Thomas who refused to believe that the Lord had rose until he saw him and PUT HIS HAND IN HIS SIDE AND HIS FINGER IN THE HOLES ON HIS HANDS. Well everything that Thomas needed to believe happened. This is where we get the term "doubting Thomas" There are several more stories about the Apostles after Jesus ascended into Heaven in the book of Acts. It's great reading! They do battle with magicians and fortune tellers (the girl with an oracular spirit) and all kinds of people. You should read it.

Answer 6

Jesus Appeared to His deciples 3 times over a 40 day period of time.

1 Corinthians 15:6 - After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

Answer 7

Actually, Jesus died on Tuesday of this week which corresponds with Nisan 14 of the ancient Jewish calendar used at the time of Christ's death. Some 500 people saw Jesus Christ alive after his death and resurrection.

Answer 8

He showed himself to the disciples except Judas( he was dead) Mary Magdalene, and a bunch of other people. Forty days after the resurrection He ascended to Heaven. This was witnessed by the 11 faithful disciples.

Answer 9

He was seen alive over a period of forty days and presented Himself to more than 500 people. Later, His ascension was witnessed.

Answer 10

Yes, all the disciples (there were more than 12), and by over 500 others.

3 For I passed on to you as most important what I also received:

that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

4 that He was buried,
that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.

6 Then He appeared to over 500 brothers at one time,

most of whom remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep.
7 Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

8 Last of all, as to one abnormally born, He also appeared to me.
