The major resurrection appearances of Jesus in the canonical gospels (and to a lesser extent other books of the New Testament) are reported to have occurred after his death, burial and resurrection, but prior to his ascension. Among these sources, most scholars believe the First Epistle to the Corinthians was written first, authored by Paul the Apostle along with Sosthenes c. AD 55. Finally, the apocryphal Gospel of the Hebrews recounts the resurrection appearance to James the brother of Jesus.
