ABSTRACT
At the end of the Gospel of John, as in Matthew and Luke, the angel of the resurrection tells the holy women to warn the apostles to move towards Galilee, where Jesus will precede them. This appears to contradict the beginning of the Acts of the Apostles, which infers that they had remained in Jerusalem. And the contradiction invites us to have a closer glance at the singularity of that journey back home. The apostles have to come back to their land, to their home or ‘here’, and they must do so to discover the ‘here’ as a ‘there’, a place where ‘he’—the Lord whose body fulfils the meaning of the holy scripture—has preceded them, precedes them in any time.
