John:20:15-18: Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16: Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
17: Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
18: Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her
The women including Mary from Magdala, known as Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early on the Sunday morning. They found the tomb empty and ran to the disiples to tell them. Peter and John came to the tomb to verify Mary's story and the went back to tell the others. Mary stayed behind, and actually saw Jesus. She mistook him for the gardener at first, but when he spoke to her she recognised him at once. he spoke only one word to her - 'Mary'. She answered 'Rabboni!' which means 'master'. Therefor Mary was the first person to whom Jesus appeared. After that, of course, Jesus appeared to the 11 disciples (Judas, the betrayer had hanged himself by now out of remorse) many times, to some of the other followers (the '72') many times and at one time to a group of over 500 at the same time. Lastly he appeared to Paul, a one-time persecutor of the new Christian 'sect' who became one of the greatest evangelists of all time, setting up churches right across the Medterranean area.
The gospel accounts vary, but say that Jesus first appeared to Mary Magdalene alone (Mark and John) or to Mary Magdalene in the company of one or more other women.
Paul's epistle says that Jesus was first seen by Cephas (Peter).
Various answers from our community:
- The women who went to his tomb to check on him on the Sunday.
- Mary Magdalene was the first to see Him.
- There is actually only one answer to this question since only one Gospel addresses the question of who was first. Mark 16:99Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of who m he had cast seven devils.None of the other Gospels seek to address this question as they were more concerned with the fact of the resurrection rather than who was first. Since they do not even address the question they are quite irrelevant.
- Mary Magdalene and ''the other Mary'' were the first to see Jesus. They were going to the tomb to bring spices and they saw that the stone had been rolled away and an angel told them Jesus had risen, then on their way to spread the news they met Jesus on the road
- This was Mary Magdalene. However, she mistook Jesus for the gardener until he uttered her name, "Mary" at which she replied "Rabboni" which means "Master!".
Answer/
When he arose from the dead, the immortal Jesus appeared first to Joseph of Arimathaea, who relates that after he had been detained on the day of preparation and for 'the whole Sabbath' continued:
"And at midnight as I stood and prayed... I looked up and saw Jesus. Trembling I thought it was a phantom,... 'Who are you Lord?....He replied, 'I am Jesus whose body you asked for from Pilate, whom you clothed in clean linen, on whose face you placed a cloth'... And he took me and showed me the place where I laid him." Ref. The Gospel of Nicodemus.
Paul tells us (1 Corinthians 15:3-8) that Jesus was seen by Cephas (Peter), then the twelve, then by more than 500, most of whom were still alive, then by James and all the apostles, and finally by himself. Reference to the "twelve" and "all the apostles" means that, for Paul, they were two different groups.
Mark's Gospel originally ended at verse 16:8 with the young man telling the women that Jesus was risen and they fled, telling no one, and therefore with no resurrection appearance of Jesus. Verses 16:9-20, now known as the 'Long Ending', were added to the Gospel at a later stage, to provide two brief resurrection appearances, with Mary Magdalene the first to see him.
The next gospel to be written was Matthew, which says that Jesus appeared to the two women, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, as they returned to tell the disciples.
Luke says that the risen Jesus first appeared to tow men on the road to Emmaeus. One man was named Cleopas and the other may have been Peter.
John says that Jesus first appeared to Mary Magdalene near the tomb, when she thought that he was the gardener.
A:Mary MagdaleneThe answer to this question differs according to the New Testament reference used. In chronologival order written:
According to Paul, Jesus appeared first to to Cephas, then to the twelve, James, the 500 and then the apostles. So, the first appearance by the risen Jesus was to Cephas.
.
Mark's Gospel, the first gospel to be written, in its original form does not say that he appeared to anyone. The women simply saw an empty tomb, where a young man told them that Jesus had risen. There were no appearances by the resurrected Jesus, but verses 16:9-20 (the 'Long Ending') were added by a later author, with Mary Magdalene being mentioned as the first he appeared to. Verse 16:12 goes on to say that he "appeared to two of them, as they walked". This interpolation harmonises well, as it can be read that Jesus appeared to either the two women of Matthew's Gospel or the two men of Luke's Gospel.
Matthew's Gospel says the women who had gone to the tomb (Mary Magdalene and the 'other Mary') saw Jesus while on the way to tell the disciples of the earthquake and the angel at his tomb. This was the first appearance of the risen Jesus.
Luke's Gospel records that Jesus appeared to two men, Cleopas and (presumably) Peter, on the road near Jerusalem but they did not recognise him, even after conversing with him. During the course of the meal, they realised who he was. This was the first appearance of the risen Jesus, since Luke discusses the visit by the women to the sepulchre and their report of the empty tomb, with no suggestion that they had seen Jesus.
In John's Gospel, Mary Magdalene was the only woman who went to the tomb. She saw Jesus standing but did not initially recognise him until he spoke her name, supposing that it was the gardener. This was the first appearance of the risen Jesus.
Mary magadalene was the first person to see jesus after the resurrection.

What is spiritual and bodily resurrection?
A:In his epistles, Paul seems to have believed in a spiritual resurrection of Jesus, in other words believing that the resurrection and the ascension to heaven were one and the same. When he describes the appearances of Jesus to Cephas, James and the disciples, he makes no distinction with the presumably spiritual or even allegorical appearance to himself. Paul never seems to believe that the risen Jesus could be seen in the flesh. The New Testament gospels speak of a physical resurrection, because the body of Jesus was no longer in the tomb and they go to great pains to prove that Jesus' resurrection was real and in the flesh.
