John 20:16-17 KJV

Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

John 20:27 KJV

Then saith he [Jesus] to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

Leviticus 23:9-14

[SUP]9 [/SUP]And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
[SUP]11 [/SUP]And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the Lord.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the Lord for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.


He could not be touched (we cannot eat neither bread, parched corn, nor green ears, all representative and symbolic of a resurrected life) Until AFTER that "sheaf" (or Jesus, that first fruit) be brought into the priest (God) to be accepted.

When the disciples touched Him, He had already been approved by the Father.

Re: why did jesus tell mary to not touch him but later on he let the disciples touch

the greek word for 'touch' that jesus used in john 20:16-17 has the connotation of clinging to someone...so it is more like jesus was telling her she didn't need to cling to him because he isn't going anywhere yet...
