Year: 33?
Jesus crucified, resurrected, appears to more than 500 disciples at one time Jesus gives His followers the Great Commission.**
*I told you the most important part of the message exactly as it was told to me. That part is:Christ died for our sins, as the Scriptures say. He was buried, and three days later He was raised to life, as the Scriptures say. Christ appeared to Peter, then to the twelve.
After this, He appeared to more than five hundred other followers.
Most of them are still alive, but some have died. He also appeared to James, and then to all of the apostles. Finally, He appeared to me, even though I am like someone who was born at the wrong time. I am the least important of all the apostles. In fact, I caused so much trouble for God’s church that I don’t even deserve to be called an apostle. But God was kind! He made me what I am, and His wonderful kindness wasn’t wasted. I worked much harder than any of the other apostles, although it was really God’s kindness at work and not me. But it doesn’t matter if I preached or if they preached. All of you believed the message just the same.*
-1 Corinthians 15:3-11
*After His suffering, He presented Himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a period of 40 days and spoke about the kingdom of God.* - Acts 1:3
*He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”After He said this, He was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.They were looking intently up into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”* -Acts 1:7-11
