Verses 10-18
2. The discovery of Mary Magdalene 20:10-18 (cf. Mark 16:9-11)
This is the first of four of Jesus’ post-resurrection appearances that John included in his Gospel. It is very difficult to place these appearances in exact chronological order. The New Testament simply does not give enough detailed information to do so. Consequently the major value of the chart below is that it places the post-resurrection appearances that the New Testament writers mentioned in general chronological order.
| Jesus’ Post-resurrection Appearances |
| Easter morning |
| to Mary Magdalene (Mark 16:9-11; John 20:10-18) |
| to other women (Matthew 28:9-10) |
| to Peter (Luke 24:34; 1 Corinthians 15:5) |
| Easter afternoon |
| to two disciples on the Emmaus road (Luke 24:13-32) |
| Jesus’ Post-resurrection Appearances (cont.) |
| Easter evening |
| to about 12 disciples excluding Thomas (Mark 16:14; Luke 24:36-43; John 20:19 - 23) |
| The following Sunday |
| to 11 disciples including Thomas (John 20:26-28) |
| The following 32 days |
| to seven disciples by the Sea of Galilee (John 21:1-23) |
| to 500 people including the Eleven at a mountain in Galilee (Matthew 28:16-20; 1 Corinthians 15:6) |
| to His half-brother James (1 Corinthians 15:7) |
| to His disciples in Jerusalem (Luke 24:44-49; Acts 1:3-8; 1 Corinthians 15:7) |
| to His disciples on Mount Olivet (Mark 16:19-20; Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:9-12) |
