It may be well to mention here the eleven distinct appear- ances of our Lord after His resurrection. He appeared,
1 . To Mary Magdalene alone. Mark xvi ; John xx. 14.
2. To the women returning from the sepulchre. Matt, xxviii. 9, 10.
3. To Simon Peter alone. Luke xxiv. 34.
4. To the two disciples going to Emmaus. Luke xxvi. 13, &c.
5. To the apostles at Jerusalem, excepting Thomas who was absent. John xx. 19.
6. To the apostles at Jerusalem, a second time, when Tho- mas was present. John xx. 26, 29.
7. At the sea of Tiberias, when seven disciples were fishing. John xxi. 1.
8. To the eleven disciples, on a mountain in Galilee. Matt, xxviii. 16.
9. To above five hundred brethren at once. I Cor. xv. 6.
10. To James only. 1 Cor. 15. 7.
11. To all the apostles on mount Olivet at His ascension. Luke xxiv. 51.
Three times we are told that His disciples " touched " Him after He rose. Matt, xxviii. 9 ; Luke xxiv. 39 ; John xx. 27. Twice we are told that He ate with them. Luke xxiv. 42 ; John xxi. 12, 13.
