In the book of Acts, the Gospel writer Luke stated: “To [the apostles] also by many positive proofs [Jesus] showed himself alive after he had suffered, being seen by them throughout forty days and telling the things about the kingdom of God. ”
Evangeeliumikirjutaja Luukas ütles Apostlite tegude raamatus: „Apostlitele,... kellele [Jeesus] ka pärast oma kannatamist oli mitme tõestusmärgiga ennast näidanud elavana, neile ilmudes nelikümmend päeva ning neile rääkides Jumala riigist ”.
