   [38] And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise   
   in your hearts?   
   [39] Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see;   
   for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.   
   [40] And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.   
   [41] And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto   
   them, Have ye here any meat?   
   [42] And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.   
   [43] And he took it, and did eat before them.   
      
   Mark 16:12-13   
      
   The Appearance to Two Disciples   
   Lk 24:13-35   
      
   12 (Lk 24:13-32) After that He appeared in another form to two of them   
   as they walked and went into the country.   
   13 (Lk 24:33-35; Jn 20:25) And they went and told it to the rest,   
   but they did not believe them either.   
      
   [12] After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they   
   walked, and went into the country.   
   [13] And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.   
      
   John 20:19-23   
      
   The Appearance of Jesus to His Disciples   
   Mt 28:16-20; Mk 16:14-18; Lk 24:36-49   
      
   19 (Jn 20:26; 14:27; 20:21) On the evening of that first day of the week,   
   the doors being locked where the disciples were assembled,   
   for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them,   
   "Peace be with you."   
   20 (Jn 16:22; 20:27) When He had said this, He showed them His hands   
   and His side. The disciples were then glad when they saw the Lord.   
   21 (Jn 13:20; 14:27) So Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you.   
   As My Father has sent Me, even so I send you."   
   22 (Ge 2:7; Jn 15:26) When He had said this, He breathed on them   
   and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.   
   23 (Mt 16:19; 18:18) If you forgive the sins of anyone,   
   they are forgiven them. If you retain the sins of anyone,   
   they are retained."   
      
   [19] Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the   
   doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews,   
   came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.   
   [20] And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side.   
   Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.   
   [21] Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath   
   sent me, even so send I you.   
   [22] And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them,   
   Receive ye the Holy Ghost:   
   [23] Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose   
   soever sins ye retain, they are retained.   
      
   Mark 16:14   
      
   The Commissioning of the Disciples   
   Mt 28:16-20; Lk 24:36-49; Jn 20:19-23; Ac 1:6-8   
      
   14 (1Co 15:5; Lk 24:36-43) Afterward He appeared to the eleven   
   as they sat at supper, and He reprimanded them for their unbelief   
   and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had   
   seen Him after He had risen.   
      
   [14] Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and   
   upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they   
   believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.   
      
   John 20:24-31   
      
   Jesus and Thomas   
      
   24 (Jn 11:16) But Thomas, one of the twelve, called The Twin,   
   was not with them when Jesus came.   
   25 (Mk 16:11) So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!"   
   But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail prints in His hands,   
   and put my finger in the nail prints, and put my hand in His side,   
   I will not believe."   
   26 (Jn 20:19) After eight days His disciples were again   
   inside with the doors shut, and Thomas was with them.   
   Jesus came and stood among them, and said, "Peace be with you."   
   27 (Jn 20:25) Then He said to Thomas, "Put your finger here,   
   and look at My hands. Put your hand here and place it in My side.   
   Do not be faithless, but believing."   
   28 (Isa 7:14; 9:6) Thomas answered Him, "My Lord and my God!"   
   29 (1Pe 1:8; 2Co 5:7) Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have   
   seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen,   
   and have yet believed."   
      
   [24] But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when   
   Jesus came.   
   [25] The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But   
   he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails,   
   and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his   
   side, I will not believe.   
   [26] And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with   
   them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and   
   said, Peace be unto you.   
   [27] Then saith he to Thomas, reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands;   
   and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless,   
   but believing.   
   [28] And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.   
   [29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast   
   believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.   
      
   The Purpose of the Book   
      
   30 (Jn 21:25) Jesus performed many other signs in the presence   
   of His disciples, which are not written in this book.   
   31 (Jn 3:15-16; 10:10) But these are written that you might believe   
   that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing   
   you may have life in His name.   
      
   [30] And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciple   
   which are not written in this book:   
   [31] But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ,   
   the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.   
      
   John 21   
      
   The Appearance of Jesus to the Seven Disciples   
      
   1 (Jn 6:1) After this, Jesus revealed Himself again to the disciples   
   at the Sea of Tiberias. He revealed Himself this way:   
   2 (Jn 1:45-2:1; 4:46) Simon Peter; Thomas, called The Twin;   
   Nathanael of Cana in Galilee; the sons of Zebedee;   
   and two more of His disciples were together.   
   3 (Lk 5:5) Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing."   
   Then they said to him, "We will go with you."   
   They went out and immediately entered the boat.   
   But that night they caught nothing.   
   4 (Jn 20:14) When the morning came, Jesus stood on the shore.   
   But the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.   
   5 Jesus said to them, "Children, do you have any fish?"   
   They answered Him, "No."   
   6 (Lk 5:4-7) He said to them, "Throw the net on the right side of the boat,   
   and you will find some." So they threw it, and now they were not able   
   to draw it in because of the abundance of fish.   
   7 (Jn 13:23; 19:26; 20:2) Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter,   
   "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord,   
   he put on his outer garment, for he had taken it off, and jumped into the sea.   
   8 The other disciples came in the little boat, dragging the net full of fish.   
   For they were not far from land, but about three hundred feet away.   
   (About 200 cubits, or 90 meters.)   
   9 When they came to land, they saw a charcoal fire there with fish lying   
   on it, and bread.   
   10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught."   
   11 Simon Peter went up and dragged the net, full of 153 large fish, to land.   
   Although there were so many, the net was not torn.   
   12 (Ac 10:41; Jn 4:27) Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast."   
   None of the disciples dared ask, "Who are You?" They knew it was the Lord.   
   13 (Jn 21:9) Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them,   
   and likewise the fish.   
   14 (Jn 20:19; 20:26) This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed   
   to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.   
      
   [1] After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the
