Luk 24:34, 1Cor 15:4 | Barnes | STEP | Verse 34. Saying . The eleven said this. Hath appeared to Simon . To Peter. It is not known precisely when this happened, as the time and place are not mentioned. Paul has referred to it in , from which it appears that he appeared to Cephas or Peter before he did to any other of the apostles. This was a mark of special love and favour, and particularly, after Peter's denial, it showed how ready he was to pardon, and how willing to impart comfort to those who are penitent, though their sins are great.

Luke 24:34

Verse 34. Saying. The eleven said this.

Hath appeared to Simon. To Peter. It is not known precisely when this happened, as the time and place are not mentioned. Paul has referred to it in 1Cor 15:5, from which it appears that he appeared to Cephas or Peter before he did to any other of the apostles. This was a mark of special love and favour, and particularly, after Peter's denial, it showed how ready he was to pardon, and how willing to impart comfort to those who are penitent, though their sins are great.

1 Corinthians 15:4

Verse 4. And that he was buried. That is, evidently, according to the Scriptures. See Isa 53:9.

And that he rose again the third day, etc. That is, that he should rise from the dead was foretold in the Scriptures. It is not of necessity implied that it was predicted that he should rise on the third day, but that he should rise from the dead. See the argument for this stated in the discourse of Peter, in Acts 2:24-32. The particular passage which is there urged in proof of his resurrection is derived from Ps 16:10.

(g) "according to the scriptures" Ps 16:10, Hoss 6:2
