After he rose from the dead, his twelve disciples and seven women continued to be his followers, and went to Galilee onto the mountain called \they gathered together and were perplexed about the underlying reality of the universe and the plan, and the holy providence, and the power of the authorities, and about everything the Saviour is doing with them in the secret of the holy plan, the Saviourappeared - not in his previous form, but in the invisible spirit.
