Jesus appears to have shown Himself during the forty days after His Resurrection at least ten times, viz.—
1. To Mary Magdalene, Mark xvi. 9; John xx. 11-18.
2. To two disciples, Mark xvi. 12; Luke xxiv. 13-32.
3. To Peter on same day, Luke xxiv. 34; Cor. xv. 5.
4. To ten Apostles, Thomas only being absent, John xx. 19-25.
5. To all the Apostles, Mark xvi.14; John xx. 26-29; 1 Cor. xv. 7.
6. To the women at the sepulchre, Matt, xxviii. 9, 10.
7. To the Apostles, and at this time probably to five hundred others, on a mountain in Galilee, Matt, xxviii. 16-20; 1 Cor. xv. 6.
8. To seven disciples at Tiberias, John xxi. 1-24.
9. To James, 1 Cor. xv. 7.
10. To the Apostles at His Ascension, Mark xvi. 15-18: Luke xxiv. 44-50; Acts i. 4-8; 1 Cor. xv. 7.
These seem to be all the appearances recorded, but there were probably many others, Acts i. 3.
After His Ascension He appeared to Saul of Tarsus, Acts ix. 3-18; 1 Cor. xv. 8.
He was seen by Stephen also, Acts vii. 55, 56.
