Jesus appears to the eleven
Mark 16:14 summarizes the appearance; the ending of Mark is not in the oldest manuscripts.
John 20:19-23
19So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors where the disciples were had been locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle and says to them, “Peace to you.” 20And having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. So the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.” 22And having said this, he breathed on them and says to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive the sins of any, they have been forgiven them; if you retain those of any, they have been retained.”
36And while they were saying these things, he himself stood in the middle of them. 37But startled and terrified, they thought they were seeing a spirit. 38And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your heart? 39See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” 40And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them, “Do you have anything to eat here?” 42And they gave him a piece of broiled fish; 43and he took it and ate it before them.
14Later he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen him raised.
18Mary Magdalene comes and announces to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
