190:2.1 From the time of the [[morontia]] [[resurrection]] until the hour of his [[spirit]] [[ascension]] on high, [[Jesus]] made nineteen separate [[appearances]] in visible [[form]] to his [[believers]] on [[earth]]. He did not [[appear]] to his [[enemies]] nor to those who could not make [[spiritual]] use of his [[manifestation]] in visible form. His [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_189#189:4._DISCOVERY_OF_THE_EMPTY_TOMB first appearance] was to the five [[women]] at the [[tomb]]; [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_189#189:5._PETER_AND_JOHN_AT_THE_TOMB his second], to [[Mary Magdalene]], also at the [[tomb]].

190:2.2 The third [[appearance]] occurred about noon of this Sunday at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany Bethany]. Shortly after noontide, [[Jesus]]' oldest brother, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_the_Just James], was standing in the [[garden]] of [[Lazarus]] before the empty [[tomb]] of the [[resurrected]] [[brother]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha Martha] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_of_Bethany Mary], turning over in his [[mind]] the news brought to them about one hour previously by the [[messenger]] of [[David Zebedee|David]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_the_Just James] had always inclined to [[believe]] in his eldest [[brother]]'s [[mission]] on [[earth]], but he had long since lost [[contact]] with [[Jesus]]' [[work]] and had drifted into grave [[doubting]] regarding the later claims of [[the apostles]] that [[Jesus]] was [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_messianism the Messiah]. The whole [[family]] was startled and well-nigh confounded by the news brought by the [[messenger]]. Even as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_the_Just James] stood before [[Lazarus]]'s empty [[tomb]], [[Mary Magdalene]] arrived on the scene and was excitedly relating to the [[family]] her [[experiences]] of the early [[morning]] hours at the [[tomb]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_of_Arimathea Joseph]. Before she had finished, [[David Zebedee]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salome_(disciple) his mother] arrived. [[Ruth]], of course, believed the report, and so did [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jude,_brother_of_Jesus Jude} after he had talked with [[David Zebedee|David]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salome,_(disciple) Salome].

190:2.3 In the meantime, as they looked for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_the_Just James] and before they found him, while he stood there in the [[garden]] near the [[tomb]], he became aware of a near-by [[presence]], as if someone had [[touched]] him on the shoulder; and when he turned to look, he beheld the [[gradual]] [[appearance]] of a [[strange]] [[form]] by his side. He was too much [[amazed]] to [[speak]] and too [[frightened]] to flee. And then the [[strange]] [[form]] [[spoke]], saying: " [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jame_the_Just James], I come to call you to the [[service]] of [[the kingdom]]. Join [[earnest]] hands with your brethren and follow after me. " When [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_the_Just James] heard his [[name]] [[spoken]], he knew that it was his eldest [[brother]], [[Jesus]], who had addressed him. They all had more or less [[difficulty]] in [[recognizing]] the [[morontia]] [[form]] of [[the Master]], but few of them had any trouble [[recognizing]] his [[voice]] or otherwise identifying his [[charming]] [[personality]] when he once began to [[communicate]] with them.
