Jesus appeared 12 times to different group sizes ranging from just one person to 500 people:
  1. Mary Magdalene (Mark 16.9-11; John 20.11-18)
  2. the other women at the tomb (Matthew 28.8-10)
  3. Peter in Jerusalem (Luke 24.34; 1 Cor. 15.5)
  4. The two travelers on the road (Mark 16.12,13)
  5. Ten disciples behind closed doors (Mark 16.14; Luke 24.36-43; John 20.19-25)
  6. All the disciples, with Thomas (excluding Judas Iscariot) (John 20.26-31; 1 Cor. 15.5)
  7. Seven disciples while fishing (John 21.1-14)
  8. Eleven disciples on the mountain (Matthew 28.16-20)
  9. A crowd of 500 (1 Cor. 15.6)
  10. Jesus' brother James (1 Cor. 15.7)
  11. Those who watched Jesus ascend to heaven (Luke 24.44-49; Acts 1.3-8)
  12. Least of all Paul as though he was not living in the proper time (1 Cor. 15.8-9; Gal. 1.13-16; Acts 9.1-8, 22.9, read all of chapters 22 and 26; 13.30-37; 1 Cor. 15.10-20; Gal. 2.1-10)
  • Luke has no problem between Paul's appearance and those made to the disciples in Luke 24, Acts 1.1-11. Luke records both types of appearances of Jesus to the disciples and to Paul.
  • "Last of all he was seen of me also" (1 Cor. 15.8).
  • "Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord?" (1 Cor. 9.1).
  • Others saw the light and heard the voice during Paul seeing Jesus bodily, however because Paul's experience was post-ascension, it may be slightly different.
  • Evolution of a resurrection theory actually devolved from the accounts of the 40 days with the disciples to when Paul saw Jesus (Gal. 1.15-16).
  • "To reveal His Son in me" (Gal. 1.16,18) took three years following the Damascus road experience.
  • "And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man" (Acts 9.7). This presumes that Paul saw the man.
If so many are the witnesses hen you got to believe it. Believe it with all your heart, soul and strength. You have only one chance to do so and this chance is given to you while you are ALIVE.
