John 20:1–21:25; Mark 16:19–20Mary Magdalene finds the tomb empty and is the first to see the risen Jesus, though at first she mistakes him for the gardener. That evening, Jesus stands among his disciples behind locked doors, and a week later convinces a stubborn Thomas that he is truly alive. Back in Galilee, seven of them fish all night and catch nothing, until a stranger on the shore fills their net and cooks them breakfast over a charcoal fire. There, Jesus asks Peter three times if he loves him, restores him completely, and gives him work to do for the rest of his life — before, in Mark's own words, being taken up into heaven at last.We are in a Mark-John Harmony. Today's episode covers: John 20:1–21:25, Mark 16:19–20 (the empty tomb, the appearances to Mary Magdalene, the disciples, and Thomas, the miraculous catch of fish, the restoration of Peter, and the Ascension — the concluding episode of Season One).
