Mark's Easter account tells us that Jesus "rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart" when He appeared to the disciples-in-hiding in the upper room that Sunday.
We think rebuke and imagine a scolding, a wagging finger, and a hefty dose of "Shame on you for not believing those who had reported My resurrection!"
But what do the other gospel accounts tell us? There is not a shred of scolding anywhere. The way Jesus "rebuked their unbelief" was to forgive them. To speak "Peace to you." To show them that He who had died was now alive. To expound to them what the Old Testament scriptures had taught of His suffering and atonement. To restore them to their office of forgiving others.
That is how He rebuked [chased away or beat back] their unbelief.
