Problem:<\/strong>\u00a0 The first one who saw Jesus after His resurrection was Mary Magdalene just as it says (Mark 16:9).\u00a0\u00a0Matt 28:9; Mark 16:9; Luke 24:15-18; John 20:14; 1 Cor 15:3-5

\nSolution:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The three women, <\/strong>Matthew 28:9, \u201cAnd behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.\u201d<\/li>\n
  2. Mary Magdalene, <\/strong>Mark 16:9, \u201cNow after He had risen early on the first day of the week, He first appeared to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. The Disciples, <\/strong>Luke 24:15-18, \u201cAnd it came about that while they were conversing and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them. 16 But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. 17 And He said to them, \u201cWhat are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?\u201d And they stood still, looking sad. 18 And one of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, \u201cAre You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?\u201d<\/li>\n
  4. Mary, <\/strong>John 20:14, \u201cWhen she had said this, she turned around, and beheld Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.\u201d<\/li>\n
  5. Cephas and the twelve, <\/strong>1 Corinthians 15:3-5, \u201cFor I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This is no contradiction at all.\u00a0 The answer is simple.\u00a0 The first one to see Jesus after His resurrection was Mary Magdalene just as it says (Mark 16:9).\u00a0 Then the others saw Him afterward.\u00a0 The context of the other verses doesn\u2019t present any problem at all.<\/p>\n
