Early in the morning Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples didn’t realize that it was Jesus.
But they were kept from recognizing him.
When Jesus rose from the dead early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene. (He had driven seven demons out of her.)
Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Good morning!” They came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.
When he said that, they picked up stones to kill him. But Jesus slipped out of sight and left the temple area.
Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight.

but Jesus walked right through the crowd and went on his way.
