This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
13. κἀκεῖνοι. See on Mar 16:10-11.
οὐδὲ ἐκείνοις ἐπίστευσαν. This does not agree with Luk 24:34, where the two, on their return from Emmaus, are greeted with the news that the Lord is risen and has appeared to Simon. But Thomas did not believe this, and there may have been others who were convinced neither by these two nor by the Ten. The compiler of these notes is evidently not copying from Lk., and what follows seems to show that he had been told that the Apostles had refused to believe the evidence from Emmaus. The Apostles may have been allowed to hear of the Resurrection before seeing the risen Christ in order that they might know from personal experience what it was to have to depend upon the testimony of others, as would be the case with their converts (Joh 20:29; Joh 20:31). See Hort on 1Pe 1:8.
