* [[Evidence of the resurrection of Christ (G. Jensen)]]
[[Jesus]] was crucified in [[Jerusalem]] around the year 30 AD. Three days later he appeared to his disciples, risen from the dead ([[Luke 24:46]]). He sent his disciples out into the world and today millions of people today know the risen Lord Christ and celebrate his resurrection on [[Easter Sunday]].
===Dating of the resurrection===
The [[New Testament]] fails to chronicle the date of which Jesus was crucified and when he was resurrected. However, many historians have attempted to place a date on both events. The two most commonly given dates for the resurrection are April 9, 30 AD and April 5, 33 AD.
===Events surrounding the resurrection===
===Text===
The story of the the resurrection of Christ is recorded in each of the gospels. It can be found at [[Matthew 28]], [[Mark 16]], [[Luke 24]] and John 20-21.

: Paul, in the fifteenth chapter of his Epistle to the Corinthians, gives a detailed list of several resurrection appearances. Now there is scarcely a scholar who has doubted the genuineness of 1 Corinthians, and its date is generally accepted as about 56 A.D. But the apostle writes that he had not only previously given his readers this information orally (i.e., in 49 A.D.), but had himself 'received' it, presumably from those who were apostles before him. This may take us back to 40 A.D. or to within some ten years of the crucifixion.... Paul tells us that in 56 A.D. the majority of some 500 original witnesses were still alive....
