BEI ABEDAN NOAHIDES: Easter-Sunday

RAISING (HAVDALAH AFTER PASCHA)

After Pascha the women witnessed his resurrection early in the morning on the first day of Yeast (whence derives the Viking word "Yeaster" meaning "Raising"). Nisan 22nd is another holiday mandated by the Rabbonim of the Exile. It is important to note that this first day of Raising has NO OTHER SIGNIFICANCE in Rabbinical Judaism because by overlooking that fact, many have for centuries misunderstood the great secret of Noahide Judaism about which is is said, "those who know don't say and those who say don't know". But Messianic Noahides know this secret.

On the Sadducee calendar it is Resheit Katzir which is calculated differently from Rabbinical Resheit Katzir.

It was early (MT 28:1) on the first day of the week. While it was yet still very overcast 6 women (Mary, Magda, the other Mary-Cleopa, the Mother of James, Salome and Joanna) set out to meet at the sepulchre to embalm Jesus Patibilis. Mary and Magda went ahead while the other lagged behind.

The 6 Women

GUARDS' REPORT FOR MATTHEW
Just like on Preparation day, Mary and Magda witnessed the Earth quake again and the guards became like dead men as they saw an angel descend from heaven to roll the stone away to the right. (MT 28:2-4)

Meanwhile, the other Mary-Cleopa and the Mother of James as well as Salome were on their way to the tomb wondering who would remove the stone before they saw it open.

One Mary immediately hurried silently to tell the Talmidim in Jerusalem they don't know where Jesus is (JN 20:1-2).

SALOME'S REPORT FOR MARK

Magda, the other Mary-Cleopa, the Mother of James as well as Salome approached to see the angel sat on the stone to the right of the open tomb (MK 16:1-5). The angel spoke to them before departing (MT 28:5-7, MK 16:6-7)

"Don't be shocked, you are looking for Jesus Patibilis, he is risen, as he said, he is not here look where he lay."

JOANA'S REPORT (LK)
Next, Joana arrives in the morning (LK 24:1) to join Magda, the other Mary-Cleopa and the Mother of James as well as Salome standing by the Sepulchre.

Salome and the other Mary-Clopas hurried away silently. Magda, the Mother of James and Joanna enter the Sepulchre where they see two more angels appear inside to tell them the news.

"Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’"

PETER ARRIVES (LK, JN)
The women silently hurry and tell Matthias and the 11 Apostles and others. (LK 24:3-9) Magda, the Mother of James and Joanna meet Mary, Peter and Lazarus already running back to the Sepulchre (JN 20:3-5). Peter then Lazarus enter the Sepulchre. It's not clear if they saw the two angels present, but they believe the news (JN 20:6-9)

Simon Peter finds Mary-Cleopa going to a gathering on the Emmaus road while Lazarus accompanies his mother and Joanna home to the brethren in Bethany where they prepare to leave for Galilee.

HE APPEARS (MT, MK, JN)
Before leaving with Magda, Mary sees the two angels in the Sepulchre who ask her why she crys and Mary replies.

Though almost unrecognisable, on the first day of the week when Jesus rose, he appeared to Mary & Magda first. Mary thought Jesus was a gardener when he questioned Mary as the angels did but while speaking suddenly Jesus was recognisable.

Mary rejoices when she finally recognises the gardener as Jesus. Magda worships him while Mary clasps his feet. Jesus tells Mary not to because he must ascend first. Then He instructs them to tell the Brethren to prepare to meet him in Galilee because he is going to ascend.

Magda goes telling the brethren that Jesus lives and has spoken to Mary.

GUARDS BRIBED (MT)
Meanwhile the guards had rushed to tell the chief priests what they had witnessed (MT 28:11-16)

EMMAUS (MK, LK, JN, PL)
In a different way, Jesus revealed Himself when He found Peter & the other Mary-Cleopa on the Emmaus road but they don't see it's Him while He instructs them on the road.

Peter & Mary-Cleopa meet the Risen Jesus going to Emaus

PETER

After talking about it, two of them walk two hours back to tell the other 11 in Jerusalem. They tell them that the reports are true and Jesus has also been seen by Simon Peter.

LK 24:36, JN 20:21-23.

After Matthias & Thomas had left He appeared to 10 of the apostles, gives them peace again, shows them His hands and side, again gives them peace, commissions them, breathes Holy Spirit on them and gives them authority to forgive or withhold before ascending.

THE 12

Although Thomas says he can't believe it because he wasn't with them when it happened, the 12 (11 and Matthias) do all agree to go to Galilee together as he commanded them for the following Sunday (Thomas Sunday). JN20:24-29, LK 24:37-43, MT28:16-17.

This is in accordance with Paul when he says that Jesus was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and (not counting female witnesses) Paul says that Jesus appeared to Cephas and eventually to the new Twelve by the following Sunday (Thomas Sunday) and ate some broiled fish.

500 (Matthew 28:18, Mark 16:15, Luke 24:44, John 20:30)

After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once most of whom were still living when Paul wrote, though some had fallen asleep.

JAMES (John 21:1)

The 4th time he appeared it was James-Lazarus who recognized him and Jesus made them breakfast.

ALL THE APOSTLES

Then He appeared to the 72 apostles at ascension/pentecost.

PAUL

And last of all in a different way He appeared to Paul.

It was early (MT 28:1) on the first day of the week. Several women set out to meet at the sepulchre to embalm the crucified Jesus.

MARY'S REPORT (MT)

SALOME'S REPORT (MT, MK)
The angel sat on the stone to the right (MK 16:5). Then Salome and Mary Mother of James also came to the tomb (MK 16:1) at sunrise (MK 16:2) wondering who would remove the stone before they saw what had happened. The angel spoke to all those Women before departing (MT 28:5-7, MK 16:6-7)
"Don't be shocked, you are looking for Jesus who was crucified, he is risen, as he said, he is not here look where he lay."

MAGDA'S REPORT (MT, JN)
While it was yet still very overcast (JN 20:1), Magda arriving a little behind them sees the Sepulchre open where Salome and Mother Mary ran to tell her they don't know where Jesus Patibilis is.

Mother Mary & Magda silently hurry to tell the Talmidim in Jerusalem (JN 20:2) leaving Mother Clopas and James's Mother by the Sepulchre.

JOANA'S REPORT (LK)

"Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’"

PETER ARRIVES (LK, JN)
The women silently hurry and tell the 11 Apostles and others. (LK 24:3-9) Joana goes on after Salome while Mother Clopas and James's Mother meet Peter and Beloved Lazarus already running back to the Sepulchre (JN 20:3-5) with Mary & Magda. Peter then Beloved Lazarus enter the Sepulchre. It's not clear if they saw the two angels present, but they believe the news (JN 20:6-9)

Simon Peter accompanies Mother Clopas to a gathering on the Emmaus road while Beloved Lazarus accompanies his Mother home to the brethren in Bethany where they prepare to leave for Galilee.

HE APPEARS (MT, MK, JN)

EMMAUS (MK, LK, JN, PL)
In a different way, Jesus Patibilis revealed Himself when He found Peter & Mother Clopas on the Emmaus road but they don't see it's Him while He instructs them on the road.

He then stops with them and the other women in the house on the Emmaus road and when those disciples assembled had shut the doors for fear of the Jews, He stood among them and breaks bread. He gives them peace, shows them His hands and side, again gives them peace, commissions them, breathes Holy Spirit on them and gives them authority to forgive or withhold before ascending.

After talking about it, two of them walk two hours back to tell Matthias and the 10 in Jerusalem. They tell them that the reports are true and Jesus Patibilis has also been seen by Simon Peter.

HE RETURNS (MT, MK, LK, JN, PL)
Though Thomas says he can't believe it because He wasn't with them, they do all agree to go to Galilee together where Matthias and the 11 all meet Jesus Patibilis when he descends to them the following Sunday and he had some broiled fish and honeycomb to eat before appearing to over 500 people at the same time.
