How did Jesus appear to his disciples after resurrection?

Question

If we look at

Luke 24:39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.

So clearly, Jesus was in his flesh body. But

John 20:19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!"

and also

John 20:26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!"

Both specifically mentioned the doors were locked. If Jesus was in flesh form, how did he walk through locked doors to get in? Can we deduce that Jesus used Teleportation? As seen in

Luke 24:31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognised him, and he disappeared from their sight.

Or was it Jesus was with the disciples in the same house already, disguised as someone else, like Jesus used Shapeshifting, as seen in

Mark 16:12 Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country.

If Jesus really has the ability to teleport, then it makes sense that the linen and the cloth were still wrapped and not damaged:

John 20:6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen.

But then there is no point to move the tomb entrance stone to come out...So the main question here is: based on how it was described, can we deduce what ability Jesus used to appear to his disciples?

Answer 1

Jesus had a different body: a glorified body.

Which is why he wasn't recognized by Mary:

When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus. John 20:11

And why Cleopas and his friends didn't recognize Him either:

After this, Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them as they walked along in the country. Mark 16:12

And has been mentioned oft, Jesus could pass through walls.

At the resurrection of the dead, we will have these bodies too.

But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body. Philippians 3:20-21

Answer 2

The short, simple, TL;DR response is: it was a miracle.

Both after and before the Resurrection, Jesus (being "the Word," aka "the Son of God") had the ability to work miracles. Any miracle is, by definition, a temporary suspension of some normally-fixed law of physics, biology, or some other scientific principle.

Take one of the most well-known instances, walking on water:

22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. 25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. 27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” Matthew 14:22-27

For a human being to walk on the surface of water without sinking is no less, and no more, remarkable than a human being passing through a solid barrier such as a locked door. Both are things that would normally be impossible; the fact that Jesus could do them were signs, visible proofs of His divinity.

To say that He used "teleportation" (or any other science-fictionish term) is, IMO, to confuse the whole point of these events. The bottom line here, the whole point being communicated, is that this was the incarnation of the Omnipotent Creator of the Universe. As such He had the ability to suspend, alter, and shape physical reality in any way He chose, to accomplish His purposes -- doing so with no more difficulty than a potter shaping a piece of clay.

You bring up a good point at the end, regarding the stone being rolled away -- strictly speaking it wasn't necessary to move it for Him to leave the tomb. But the rolled-aside stone was a much more powerful and visible statement. If you will, it was better "advertising" of the Resurrection... a more obvious sign.

Answer 3

I agree with JDM-GBG for the most part and would only add and thus simplify the question. After the Resurrection Jesus was God again or of the Godhead and so anything goes. Now, as to the stone I've thought on this and just like the Woman/Women who were first to the tomb as eyewitnesses. It is my opinion that this is another tension used to purify believer. After all who would believe woman or the idea of God moving a stone it seems a bit absurd which I think often is the point. It's all just to remind us that God is God especially when it comes to these varies tensions in the Bible.
