Some have read an apparent contradiction, for how could the disciples be in both Galilee and Jerusalem at the same time?
Matthew 28:7 ” . . . he {Christ} goes before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him . . . ”
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.”
However neither passage implies that the disciples were to be in Galilee and Jerusalem at the same time. Jesus was forty days upon the earth after his resurrection (Acts 1:3). Since it is not more than a two or three day’s journey between Galilee and Jerusalem, appearances in both places are perfectly possible, expected, and recorded.
