II. The visit which Peter made to the sepulchre, and his discoveries there (Luk 24:12). III.

His appearing to the eleven disciples themselves, the same day at evening (Luk 24:36-49). V. The farewell he gave them, his ascension into heaven, and the joy and praise of his disciples whom he left behind (Luk 24:50-53).
