A young man dressed in a white robe said, ‘Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.

Now Mary Magdalene had stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. They asked her, ‘Why are you crying?’ <br/>‘They have taken my Lord away,’ she said, ‘and I don’t know where they have put Him.’ <br/>(John 20:11-13). <br/>Mary Magdalene Questions the Angels in the Tomb - James Tissot - Brooklyn Museum. – Slide 6

At this, she turned around and saw someone there, but she did not realise that it was Jesus. <br/>He asked her, ‘Why are you crying?

Jesus said to her, ‘Mary.’ <br/>She turned toward Him and cried out in Aramaic, ‘Rabboni!’ (which means ‘Teacher’). <br/>Jesus said, ‘Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ <br/>(John 20:16-17). <br/>Touch me not - James Tissot - Brooklyn Museum. – Slide 8

That same day two disciples were going to a nearby village called Emmaus. Jesus came and started talking with them but they did not recognize Him. <br/>Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures about the suffering, death and resurrection of the Messiah. <br/>(Luke 24:13-27). <br/>Pilgrims of Emmaus on the Road - James Tissot - Brooklyn Museum. – Slide 11

When they got to Emmaus they invited Him to stay with them. The moment Jesus took bread, gave thanks, broke it and gave it to them, they immediately recognized it was Jesus.

That evening when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them.

Now Thomas was not with the disciples when Jesus appeared. When they told him, ‘We have seen the Lord!’ he did not believe them. <br/>‘Unless I see the nail marks in His hands and put my hand into His side, I will not believe,’ he said. <br/>A week later when the disciples were meeting in a locked room Jesus appeared again saying, ‘Peace be with you.’ <br/>He told Thomas to put his finger into the wounds in His hands and side. <br/>‘My Lord and my God!’ he gasped. <br/>Jesus told him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’ <br/>(John 20:24-28). <br/>The Disbelief of Thomas - James Tissot - Brooklyn Museum. – Slide 14

Some time later, seven of the disciples were fishing in Galilee. Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, and shouted, ‘Friends, haven’t you any fish?’ <br/>They did not recognise Jesus and replied. ‘No.’ <br/>Jesus told them to throw their net on the right side of the boat. When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. <br/>(John 21:1-6). <br/>Christ Appears on the Shore of Lake Tiberias - James Tissot - Brooklyn Museum. – Slide 15
