CHAP. 3. Appearings of the body raised vp.
Hereunto extend the manifold appearings or open showings of Christ, mentioned by the Evangelists. In Mark it is written thus:1 when Jesus was risen early the first day after the Sabbath, he appeared first to Mary Magdalen. To whom in the gospel of John, he saith: go to my brethren and tell them:2 I go up to my father and your father, to my God and your God. Now when she came to the disciples, she told them that she had seen the Lord, & that he had spoken such things unto her. In Matthew he meteth the women, ⟨p. 15⟩and sayeth: All hail. Fear not,3 go and tell my brethren, that they go into Galilee, there shall they see me. In holy S. Luke is mention made of two appearings. The first when he showed himself to the two that went to Emmaus,4 & opened unto them the true resurrection of his body. The second, wham they were gone again from Jerusalem, they came to the Disciples, minding to show them, and to give them to understand, what they had seen and hard. Then prevented they them, and said: the Lord is truly risen in deed, and hath appeared unto Simon.
