To whom did Jesus make his first post-resurrection appearance?


The two Marys

In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.... And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. Matthew 28:1, 9

Mary Magdalene

Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. Mark 16:9

But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping ... and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. John 20:11-14

Cleopas and another

And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus.... And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? ... And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.Luke 24:13-31

Cephas

And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve. 1 Corinthians 15:4-5
