In the Chronological Bible there are a few details concerning the resurrection that are out of order. When you compare all the gospel accounts, it flows better.

There are a couple of astounding things that happen at the resurrection. A question for you…when Jesus appeared to Mary, she was not allowed to touch Him. Yet when Jesus appeared to the other women they were allowed to clasp His feet. Why the difference? What happened between the time of Jesus appearing to Mary and the time He appeared to the other women?
Details on the website.

Part 4

What a picture of Jesus cooking breakfast on the beach! Using original meanings of the Greek words, Jesus asks Peter, “Do you love me?” Peter responds with, “Yes, Lord, I like you.” Jesus asks the same question a second time. Peter responds the same way. The third time Jesus asks, “Peter, do you like me?” not "Peter, do you love me?" Jesus meets Peter just where he is in his faith journey. Then Jesus gives Peter some strict instructions as shepherd of the flock. Feed my lambs. (nourish and teach the babes in the faith). Take care of my sheep. (take care of the mature ones in the faith). And finally, feed my sheep. (even those who are mature in the faith still need to be nourished).

Notice that Jesus brings Peter full circle with these words, “Follow me.” Good instructions for us too, eh?
