Good morning Year 6 đ I’m hoping for less rain than yesterday!
Jesus appears to his Disciples
Jesus appeared to his disciples on a number of occasions after the Resurrection. He greeted them, shared food with them and then he sent them out to continue the message of the Good News. Luke tells how, after his Resurrection, Jesus reassures his disciples that they will not be alone.
Then Jesus said to them âThese are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you â that everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilledâ. Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures and he said to them, âThus it is written that the Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses to these things. And see, I am sending upon you what my Father promised; so, stay here in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.â
Luke 24: 44-49
In Matthew, Jesus is not only reassuring the disciples but telling of their future mission.
The eleven disciples went to the hill in Galilee where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshipped him even though some of them doubted. Jesus drew near and said to them, âI have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Go then to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples. Baptise them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and teach them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And I will be with you always to the end of the age.â
Matthew 28: 16-20

Interpretations:Â
Have a look below at the wonderful interpretations-well done all of you!
Good morning,
I think the disciples felt honoured and blessed to be one of the only people who had got to see the Messiah.
I think Jesus meant that they had the Holy Spirit in them and would be with Jesus in heaven after their death
Jesus wants everyone to be baptised as Christianity will grow and more people will believe in Christ and follow in his his footsteps which will make the world a better place.
Jesus gave his disciples the mission to âBaptise them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and teach them to obey everything that I have commanded youâ.
Thank you Luke for your thoughtful response ?
Hi Miss Gorick! I donât usually use j2e.com and I would like to create the poster. Could you please tell me what to tap?
Oh, and as well, it says I am posting comments too quickly.
Hi Charles. Go onto j2e.com, click on the LGfL red button and then log in with your USO log in. I think the best one for making a poster is J2e5 as you can use pictures and words and arrange them however you want. Miss Gorick can then log into her j2e account and see your poster, or you can screenshot it and send it in for her to see. I can’t wait to see your finished poster!
Or, I could use PicsArt…
Thank you Miss! But I think I will just stick to PicsArt and Procreate. Itâs easier to use this when you are on an iPad.
I’m sure Miss Gorick won’t mind. I can’t wait to see what you create!
I think the disciples felt proud and grateful, for they were Jesusâ closest friends and followers.
I think Jesus means that at some point they will be âclothedâ with the Holy Spirit, and feel more understanding and wise than before.
I think Jesus wants everyone to be baptised because He doesnât want anyone to fall under the power of Satan, or to sin.
The mission Jesus gave to his disciples was to âGo then to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciplesâ by baptising them.
Thank you Chiara ? I really enjoyed reading your comments.
P.s your interpretation was beautiful! Well done ?
Good Morning Everyone
1) I think the disciples felt secure and happy to see Jesus and to hear His words. They also new that they had to wait to be ‘clothed’ (Pentecost).
2) I think Jesus means that the Holy Spirit will come down to the disciples and they will get the power and faith to spread ‘The Good News’ (Pentecost).
3) Jesus wants everyone to be baptised because He wants everyone to be free from sins and be part from His family.
4) Jesus gave his disciples the mission to spread ‘The Good News’, following his footsteps.
Hi Sergio ? I really like your use of the words âsecure and happyâ.
Your interpretation was beautiful!
1) I think that they felt happy to see Jesus and confident when they heard his words.
2) I think that it means that they have to wait for the Holy Spirit to come to them during pentecost.
3)Jesus wants everyone to be baptised to be freed of all their sins and be part of the Christian community .
4)Jesus gave the disciples a mission of spreading the word and the way that they have to live following Jesus in his footsteps.
Itâs nice to think of the disciples feeling confident after hearing his words-thank you Javier!
P.s Well done for creating a powerful interpretation!
How am I supposed to upload the poster?
Could you screenshot it and send it in as a photo?
Your poster was super Charles!
Good Morning
Here are my answers:
What mission did Jesus give his disciples?
Q1) I think they felt enlightened and new that Jesus could trust them with his whole heart.Also i think they new that everything about God was up to them to spread the message.
Q2) I think Jesus means from these words that they will be free from all their sins and they will worry less as long as they believe.
Q3) I think Jesus wants everyone to be welcome to God’s house and to make everyone feel warm and comfy and make sure they have faith and they never give up on it.
Q4) The mission that Jesus gave to his disciples was to spread the Good News and to baptise everyone whilst Jesus is in his father’s home so that He has many disciples.
Hi Elly đ I really like how you have used the word âenlightenedâ-it creates a lovely image!
Good morning Miss Gorick.
Jesus means that the holy spirit will make them free and that they will be clean of their sins.
Jesus wants everyone to be baptised so that they cannot sin and be controlled by by Satan.
the mission for the disciples is to go and preach the Gospel and make them his disciples.
Thank you Nina for your thoughtful response đ
1) I think the Disciples felt blessed to be called by the Son of God.
2) I think it meant that they will be covered in the Holy Spirit.
3) Jesus wanted everyone to be baptised so they will be refreshed and born in Christ.
4)The Disciples mission was to baptise everyone in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit and to teach everyone how Jesus has commanded them.
Here’s what I think I wrote in my first draft.????
Thank you Aryan, I really enjoyed reading your answers!
1) I think the disciples were very pleased to have Jesus by their side and very happy to hear he has risen.
2) I think Jesus meant until you have been clothed with the Holy Spirit which would also take them up to heaven.
3) Jesus wants everyone to be baptised so they can follow the good ways of Jesus so Earth can be like Heaven.
4) Jesus told his disciples to baptise everyone so they can also follow in Jesus’ footsteps.
I like that you have thought of the aim of earth being like heaven ?
Good Before-Noon.
I think the disciples felt glad to know that Jesus was still by there side, and they were still doing good even if he wasn’t with them physically. I think they were happy that even now after completing there mission, Jesus still stayed with them, as a friend and brother. I also think they were self-confident, because they didnât need Jesus physically to accomplish things, and they knew that Jesus had taught them much, that they didnât need him anymore, they were ready to be the teachers.
I think Jesus meant that they will be clothed with the power from above (the power of God) â which is the Holy Spirit, because it comes from above, and onto the disciples. He wants them to stay in the city until they have fully seen the Holy Spirit, and understood itâs meaning, as well as the meaning of God himself.
I think Jesus wants everyone to be baptised so that they are free of sins and all darkness, and so they can be filled (or clothed) with the Holy Spirit, and so they are full of good, and they can spread the spirit further and more pure of goodness.
The mission the disciples were given was to baptise everyone they can, and teach them the ways that Jesus has shown them. Jesus has shown them that they are ready to move on without him now, and that their efforts will carry on his name.
Thank you Ethan, what an informative and in depth answer. I like how you have thought about Jesus being a friend and a brother to the disciples.
1) i think the disciples felt really inspired,and relieved,as now they know ,that they are not alone and that he will come rise again!
2)i think the wordâ clothedâ means covered and protected.âclothed by the Holy Spirit âmeans to be protected by the Holy Spirit.
3)Jesus wants everyone to be Baptised because it will wash away all their sins so that they have aâ fresh startâ
4)The mission Jesus gave his disciples were to spread the good news that Jesus will rise once again and to know that they are not alone.
Thankyou!
Hi Ariella ? you have thought carefully and it is lovely to think of the disciples being no longer alone!
Hi Miss! I’m just wondering if I can use Paint 3D that I have on my iPad and send in a screenshot?
Shun:)
Good idea Shun, I’m sure Miss Gorick would love that!
That would be super!
Good morning everyone!
1. The disciples probably felt safe and comfortable since they know that Jesus will be next to them.
2. I think He meant until they have fulfilled their purpose and are taken to heaven with Him. (Since I believe that everyone has a purpose)
3. I think He wants everyone to be baptised so that everyone learns God ‘s way and it will make a peaceful and perfect community.
4. He told them to make everyone His disciples and baptize everyone and teach them the way of God and Jesus.
Thank you Laetitia đ itâs lovely to hear that you believe everyone has a purpose.

I think that the disciples felt happy that they got to hear what Jesus has to say, inspired and relived that they are not alone.
I think that this means that the disciples are protected by the Holy Spirit and God .
I think that Jesus wants everyone to be Baptised because it will wash away all their sins so that they have aâ fresh startâ.

Thank you Eliza ? itâs lovely to imagine the disciples feeling safe with Jesus.
Good morning year 6, I love reading all your answers.
Good afternoon everyone,
How do you think the disciples felt when they heard these words?
I think they felt slighty confused but also felt full of pride.
âUntil you have been clothed with power from on high.â What do you think Jesus meant by these words?I think Jesus means that the disiples will become tranformed by the the Holy Spirit and become more holy and dedicated to God.
Why does Jesus want everyone to be baptised?
He wants this so everyone can be a follower of God.
What mission did Jesus give his disciples?
To go and baptise the people and teach them of Jesus.
Hi Maryana ? you have thought carefully and reflected on what you have read. Well done!

Hello Everyone,
my answers:
1)I think the disciples felt scared and worried because Jesus was asking them ton do the messiah’s work and spread the words of God but also privileged that they were the ones chosen.
2)I think Jesus meant that at some point the Holy Spirit will “cloth” them (become part of them) and they will feel closer to god and able to share the word.
3)Jesus wants everyone to be baptized so they can become part of his family, a family were everyone are brothers and sisters and were God and Mary are our parents.When we our baptized we become more faithful and holy,all our sins are washed away.
4)Jesus mission towards his disciples was to share Gods words and love and to explain and retell every miracle he did for when he is gone people continue to believe in him.They did a good job because other wise there would be no Christians in the world.They were also told to baptize all the faithful so they are closer to God and become part of God’s family.
The task was really fun thank you so much đ
Hi Jade ? I received your interpretation and it was beautiful! I loved the choice of gold! ? thank you for sharing your answers with us-you have thought so carefully.
Hello everyone.
Key Questions:
1.) I think the disciples were amazed when they heard Jesus’ voice as he was supposed to be dead but although some may be amazed, others may feel safe because they knew Jesus was always watching over them.
2.) I think Jesus meant until you have been blessed and completed the mission.
3.) Jesus wants everyone to be baptised so they can have a clean start, sin free.
4.) Jesus told the disciples to spread the Good News which is that God is the saviour coming to save us all.
Hi Haleema! Thank you for your thoughtful responses. I agree that they would have felt amazed!
Good afternoon everyone!
Q1)I think the Disciples felt worried but confident because they no that Jesus will be with them but they will be going their separate ways.
Q2)I think Jesus meant until you are covered in the Holy Spirit.
Q3)Jesus wants everyone baptised so they can be closer to him and and the Father.
Q4)Jesus gave the mission to spread the word of God and to baptise everyone.
Hi Tim ? itâs interesting that you think the disciples felt worried yet confident. I agree that they must have felt mixed emotions!
Good evening Miss, these are my answers:
I think the disciples felt confident, but afraid, because they know Jesus will always be with them, even at the time of death.
I think Jesus meant when the are forgiven of their sins, when the dove come from the sky and took away their sins, when they are all a family.
Jesus wants everyone to be baptised so they can all be a family, and the world unites and treats each other with kindness and respect, and so they can be closer to God.
The mission Jesus gives to his disciples was that they should tell everyone the good news that he was alive, take away their sins and baptise them in Gods words, so they can be a family.
Thank you Gabriel ? it is lovely to think about the world uniting!
Hello everyone,
My answers are:
1) I believe some disciples felt empowered while the others were in disbelief because Jesus was resurrected from the dead.
2) I believe the phrase “until you have been clothed with power from on high” means you will be forgiven for your sins and will be protected by God.
3) Jesus wants everyone to be baptized so, they will become his disciple and spread his knowledge.
4) Jesus instructed his disciples to baptize everyone in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and to make them his disciple.
