Question 49 - The proofs for the resurrection of the Lord Christ!

     John 20:8-9 NKJV - "Then the other disciple, who came to the tomb first, went in also; and he saw and believed. For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead."

     Mark 16:9-10 NKJV - "Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons. She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept."

     Luke 24:6-8 NKJV - ""He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, "saying, 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.' " And they remembered His words.".

     Matthew 20:17-19 NKJV - "Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, "and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again."

     Matthew 27:63-64 NKJV - "saying, "Sir, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise.' "Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead.' So the last deception will be worse than the first."

     Mark 8:31 NKJV - "And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again."

     Mark 10:34 NKJV - "and they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again."

     Luke 18:32-34 NKJV - ""For He will be delivered to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon. "They will scourge Him and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again." But they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know the things which were spoken."

Answer:

                In John 20:1-9, the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. According to the tomb which was empty, she ran and came to Simon Peter, and other disciple, and said to them. Luke 24:6-10, Matthew 20:19 Mark 8:31, I Corinthians 15:4-6.

                When it was still dark, Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them went near the tomb again after hearing these things from Mary Magdalene and told all the remaining disciples along with Peter.

                These two sentences occurred before dawn when it was still dark.  The incident in the Mark 16:9-11 occurred after sun rise. He appeared to Mary Magdalene after sun rise. But, as in John 20:8, 9 the Lord Christ did not appear to them. But they believed in Him.
