Having attempted to read this harmony through with my "skeptic hat" on I can see a couple of questionable aspects. I'll guess that the appearance near Jerusalem at the ascension would be the best candidiate if any explicity mentioned for the post resurrection appearance before 500 followers / witnesses at one time. Also that Yahushua's appearance to Saul soon to be Paul was a special later appearance. The one piece that I'm still attempting to understand in this harmony is the conversation on the road to Emmaus by two disciples. They hear about the women's report but appearently disregarded it having heard from Peter that the body was missing, and possibly from others of the vision and I'm guessing that some say they'd seen Him alive? Maybe others can help me connect the dots. Quote: Then at dawn, on the first day of the week, Miryam of Migdal and Miryam the mother of Ya'akov and Shalome, and Yochanah were coming to see the Tomb. They brought spices to anoint Yeshua's [Yahushua's] body. Because a huge stone was over the entrance, they conversed among themselves, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?" Then looking, they saw the stone was already rolled back. So they entered the tomb and the body of Yeshua [Yahushua] was gone.
Then Miryam of Migdal ran to Shimon Kefa and the other disciple {Yochanan}, whom Yeshua loved, and said, "They have taken away Adonai out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."
Immediately, Kefa and that other disciple ran out together, but the other disciple outran Kefa, and came to the tomb first. He stooped down and saw the linen clothes lying there, but he did not go in. Then Shimon Kefa arrived and went into the tomb and saw the linen clothes lying there, and the cloth which was around His head was not lying with the linen clothes, but was wrapped together in a place by itself. Then the other disciple went in, who was first on the scene, and he saw, and believed. For at this point they did not know the scriptures which say, He must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples left and went to their own homes.
But Miryam stood outside at the tomb crying. As she wept she stooped down into the tomb and saw two messengers in dazzling white clothing sitting on the right side, one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Yeshua [Yahushua] had lain. When all the women saw them they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground. They said to her, "Woman, why do you cry?"
She said, "Because they have taken away Adonai, and I do not know where they have laid Him."
One messenger said to the women, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? You do not need to fear, for I know that you look for Yeshua [Yahushua] HaNatzeret, who was executed on the stake. He is not here. He is risen! Come and see the place where YHVH was laid."
{They looked, then the messenger said,} "Remember how He spoke to you when He was in the Galil? He said, 'the Son of man must be put into the hands of sinful men, and be executed on the stake, and after the third day rise again.' Quickly go now and tell His disciples that He has been resurrected from the dead. Watch! He proceeds you into the Galil. You will see Him there, as I have told you."
They hurriedly began to depart from the tomb with trembling and joyfulness. When Miryam had turned to leave she saw Yeshua [Yahushua] standing there, but did not know it was Yeshua [Yahushua].
Yeshua said unto her, "Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?"
She supposed He was the gardener, so she said to Him, "Sir, if you have carried him from here, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away."
"Miryam," Yeshua [Yahushua] said.
She turned around, and said to him, "Rabbi!"
Yeshua said, "Hello everyone!" The women came and held Him at His feet, and worshiped Him.
"Do not touch me," Yeshua [Yahushua] said, "for I am not yet ascended to Avi. Go to my brothers, and tell them that I ascend to Avi, your Abba; to my Elohim, and your Elohim. Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to the Galil. They will see me there."
So they returned from the tomb and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. It was Miryam of Migdal, and Yochanah, and Miryam the mother of Ya'akov, and others with them, who told these things to the Shaliachim. But their report seemed to them to be fictional stories, and they did not believe them.
WALK TO AMMA'US
It happened that two of them traveled that same day from Yerushalayim about seven miles, to the village of Amma'us. Along the way they conversed about all these things which had happened. While they reasoned together, Yeshua [Yahushua] Himself came near and walked with them. But their eyes were set ahead, and they didn't recognize Him.
He asked them, "What kind of conversation is this you are having together as you walk? And why so sad?"
Cleopas, one of them, answered, "Are you a newcomer to Yerushalayim? Haven't you heard about the things which have happened here recently?
"What things?" He said.
"Concerning Yeshua [Yahushua] HaNatzeret," they said. "He was a mighty prophet in deeds and words, in the sight of Elohim and all the people. The chief Kohenim and our rulers sentenced him to be condemned to death, and they have executed him on the stake. But, we trusted in him to be the Redeemer of Yisrael. Besides all this, today is after the third day since these things were done. Yes, and some women of our company who were earlier at the Tomb have amazed us. They did not find his body, and they told us that they had also seen a vision of messengers {from Heaven}, who said that he was alive. Ones who were with us went to the tomb and found it {empty} just as the women had told us, but they did not see him." It seems everyone who saw the two messengers would also have seen the resurrected Yahushua [Yahushua] ? Maybe they took the two reports and accepted Peter's over the women's Edit note: I realize the importance to YY and the team for properly rendering Messiyah's name even when quoting an author's varint rendering, therefore have set [in brackets] the rendering [Yahushua] YY has taught us and did not wih to confuse readers. I apologize if anyone was confused by this. Edited by user Sunday, July 29, 2007 11:15:57 AM(UTC)
