disciples. |

Acts 10:40-41 God raised Him from the
dead on the third day and caused Him to be seen. He was not seen by all the
people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen - by us who ate and drank
with Him after He rose from the dead. |

1 Cor. 15:4-8 He was raised on the third
day according to the Scriptures, and. . . He appeared to Peter, and then to the
Twelve. After that, He appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at
the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all He
appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born. |

Acts 1:3 After His suffering, He showed
Himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that He was alive. He
appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of
God. |
