The other one likewise: "Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus"

Right, though he was not numbered with the apostles he was a disciple from the baptism of John and a witness of the resurrection.

Yes, this is how I have perceived it, though I am also willing to consider that he was including Matthias, who was one of the twelve when Paul was writing 1 Corinthians 15.

Below is a list of 11 appearances of our Lord Jesus Christ after his resurrection (to which is added the post-ascension appearance to Paul). Is this correct? Is this all of them? Your thoughts?

The appearances of our Lord Jesus after His resurrection
Before his ascension
  1. To Mary Magdalene, Mark 16:9-11; John 20:11-18.
  2. To Mary Magdalene, Salome, and Mary the mother of James, Matthew 28:9-10.
  3. To Peter, Luke 24:34; 1 Corinthians 15:5.
  4. To Cleopas and another disciple on the road to Emmaus, Luke 24:13-35.
  5. To the apostles at Jerusalem, except for Thomas, Mark 16:14; Luke 24:36-43; John 20:19-25.
  6. To the eleven Apostles at Jerusalem, i.e., with Thomas, John 20:26-29.
  7. To the disciples by the Sea of Galilee, John 21:1-25.
  8. To the apostles on a mountain in Galilee, Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:15-18.
  9. To over five hundred brethren, 1 Corinthians 15:6.
  10. To James the brother of the Lord, 1 Corinthians 15:7.
  11. To the apostles at Jerusalem before his ascension, Mark 16:19-20; Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:3-12.
After his ascension
  1. To Paul, Acts 9:1-6; 1 Corinthians 15:8.

Not exactly the world's best kept secret, huh?

I definitely think this is a good possibility. Though he was not numbered with the twelve until after the ascension (Acts 1:26), he was a witness of the resurrection (Acts 1:22) and one of the twelve.

Yes, but Matthias as all the Apostles except Paul actually saw the resurrected Christ preascensioned. Paul saw the resurrected Christ only post ascension. John saw Christ both ways.

Interesting. I see the "once" motif as more about a one time (once for all) sacrifice than about where Jesus could or could not appear.

Paul used that very term regardion the 500 that all saw Him to mean at the same time. As to Christ entering to be intercessor, as I said, I interpret that to mean until His seconded appearing, Hebrews 9:12; Hebrews 9:24: Hebrews 9:28.

Where are you seeing Salome in that passage?

The cross reference of Mark 16:1.

And what about Joanna in Luke?

Yes, Mark 16:1 ought to be a reference there, as well as Luke 24. Probably would be better to say "Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and other women." The two Marys are named in all three accounts, and Luke 24:10 suggests there might have been more than just Joanna and Salome with them.

Perhaps this would work, 1 Corinthians 15:5 inserted between "To Peter" and "To Cleophas," and 1 Corinthians 15:7 incorporated into what is now number 12?

  5. To Cleopas and another disciple on the road to Emmaus, Luke 24:13-35.

Number 6 seems incomplete. Should it not also include Cleopas and his companion as being there, as well as others, i.e., "and them that were with [the apostles]"? Luke 24:33-36

33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, 34 saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. 35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. 36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
