This section describes how Jesus appeared personally to the eleven disciples after his resurrection. He corrected their doubts and gave them an important mission. Jesus also promised that his followers would receive special signs to confirm the truth of their message.

v. 14: Jesus appeared to the disciples as they were eating together (Mark 16:14 ^a). He showed them proof that he was really alive and even ate with them to help them believe (Acts 10:41 ^b). Jesus also corrected them because they had not believed the earlier reports of his resurrection. Their unbelief was not because of weak evidence, but because their hearts were hard. Jesus expected them to trust the testimony of those who saw him, even if they had not seen him themselves (Matthew 28:17 ^c).
