Post-resurrection appearances are the occasions after Jesus rose from the dead when he appeared bodily to his disciples and others. These appearances confirm the reality of his resurrection and help ground the apostles’ witness.

Post-resurrection appearances are the appearances of the risen Jesus to his followers after his crucifixion and resurrection. The Gospels and 1 Corinthians present these events as genuine encounters with the living Christ, including appearances to individuals, small groups, and a larger company of witnesses. Scripture treats them as evidence that Jesus truly rose bodily from the dead, while also showing that his resurrected life was marked by glory and was not simply a return to ordinary earthly existence. These appearances comforted his followers, corrected their unbelief, instructed them concerning the kingdom and their mission, and established the apostolic testimony that stands at the heart of the church’s proclamation.
