THEORY:
A: "There was only ONE commission."
Luke 24:33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to
Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
B: they were in Jerusalem.
Matt 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into
Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
Matt 28: 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matt 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
~B: they were in Galilee
IF "there was only on commission"
(A), THEN they were in Jerusalem.
(B) Luke 24:33, 47.
They were in Galilee
(~B) Matt 28:16-20.
THEREFORE, there was
NOT "only ONE commission".
(~A)A -> B
~B
THEREFORE, ~AMark 16:12 After that he appeared in another form
unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
Luke 24:13 And, behold,
two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
D: the Lord appears unto "two of them"
Luke 24:36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood
in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
E: He "stood in the midst" of them (the others).
IF the Lord appears unto "two of them"
(D), THEN it was before He "stood in the midst" of them.
(E) Mark 16:12. Luke 24:13, 36.
John 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and
stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
E: He "stood in the midst" of them.
Johm 20: 26 And
after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and
stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
F: He "stood in the midst" of them "after eight days".
IF the Lord "stood in the midst" of them
(E), THEN it was before He "stood in the midst" of them "after eight days."
(F) John 20:19, 36
THEREFORE, IF the Lord appears unto "two of them"
(D), THEN it was before He "stood in the midst" of them after eight days.
(F)D -> E
E -> F
THEREFORE, D -> FTherefore we have:
