Pope John Paul II has asserted that “it is legitimate to think that the Mother [of Jesus, Mary] was probably the first person to whom the risen Jesus appeared. ”
Pāvests Jānis Pāvils II ir paziņojis, ka ” ir pamatots iemesls uzskatīt [Jēzus] Māti [Mariju] par pašu pirmo personu, kurai acīmredzot parādījās augšāmceltais Jēzus ”.
