It sounds as if Jesus had established a place of meeting in Galilee with His disciples—perhaps a private place that only they would know of.

Why do we never hear stories of the dead appearing to many in Jerusalem? Perhaps those who didn’t believe in Christ forgot it buried those stories while those who did believe in Christ (before or after the event) put all their ficus in the resurrection of Christ and thus has little to say if they…
