and Jesus met the foremost, saying, “ Rejoice; tell my apostles to repair 
to Galilee, and I will appear before them.” 
And the eleven went to Galilee, and Jesus accordingly appeared before 
them, and instructed them. 
St. Mark, in chap. v. tells us, “ that this rider was one of the directors of 
the synagogue, named Jairus, and also mentions the very words of our Lord, 
* Talitha cumi,’ which signifies, ‘ Damsel, arise, I command thee;’ and 
likewise the age of the daughter, ‘ she was twelve years old:’ and the 
multitude who followed were confounded and astonished.” 
In chap. iv. according to the same apostle, Jesus said, “ This night I 
shall prove a trial for you all; for it is written (Ezek. xiii. p, and chap.xvi./.), 
I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be dispersed. Nevertheless, 
after I am raised, I will go before you to Galilee.” 
In chap. xvi. speaking of the angel who had rolled back the stone of the 
monument, his person is more particularly described. “ Entering into the 
monument, they beheld a youth sitting on the right side, clothed in a white 
robe, and they were frightened. But he said to them, Be not frightened; 
ye seek Jesus of Nazareth; he is risen; he is not here. He is gone to 
Galilee, where ye shall see him, as he hath told you.” 
This evangelist further relates, “ that Jesus being arisen on the Sunday, 
first appeared to Mary Magdalene , then to two disciples, then to the eleven 
disciples, who being more minute than Matthew, says, they were, when 
Jesus appeared, at meat, and relates what our Saviour says to them; after 
which he was taken up to heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.” 
In St. Luke we have an account of raising one who was dead (chap.viii. 
beginning verse 11), not mentioned by the other two evangelists. “ Jesus 
went into the city called Nain, accompanied by his disciples, and a great 
multitude. As he approached the gate of the city, the people brought out 
to him a dead man, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and 
many friends were with her. When the Lord saw her, he had compassion 
for her, and said, Weep not. Then he advanced, and touched the bier, the 
bearers stopping, and he said, ‘ Young man, arise, I command thee.’ Then 
he who had been dead, sat up, and began to speak, and Jesus delivered 
him to his mother. All who were present were struck with awe, and 
glorified God, saying, ‘ A great prophet has come among us; God hath sent 
him to our nation.’ And this report was spread throughout all Judea, and 
the neighbouring country.”
