This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Not to all the people: Christ after his resurrection appeared not to the wicked Jews, for being to suffer no more, his enemies were not vouchsafed a sight of him; and thus he did not manifest himself unto the world, Joh_14:22.



But unto witnesses; these witnesses were the apostles, who were chosen by God himself immediately; and the vacancy supplied by lot, which was at God’s direction, Act_1:24,26. The metaphor here used is taken from the ordinary way then in use of choosing men into offices, which is here alluded to.



Eat and drink with him: though in the gospel history we do not read that our Saviour drank after he rose again; yet it is sufficiently implied, being he did eat, and make a meal with his disciples, Luk_24:30,42,43Jo_21:12; and eating is put in Scripture for the whole refection, Mat_15:2, compared with Luk_7:36.
