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?
