Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 15:6

_ _ five hundred — This appearance was probably on the mountain (Tabor, according to tradition), in Galilee, when His most solemn and public appearance, according to His special promise, was vouchsafed (Matthew 26:32; Matthew 28:7, Matthew 28:10, Matthew 28:16). He “appointed” this place, as one remote from Jerusalem, so that believers might assemble there more freely and securely. Alford’s theory of Jerusalem being the scene, is improbable; as such a multitude of believers could not, with any safety, have met in one place in the metropolis, after His crucifixion there. The number of disciples (Acts 1:15) at Jerusalem shortly after, was one hundred and twenty, those in Galilee and elsewhere not being reckoned. Andronicus and Junius were, perhaps, of the number (Romans 16:7): they are said to be “among the apostles” (who all were witnesses of the resurrection, Acts 1:22).

_ _ remain unto this present — and, therefore, may be sifted thoroughly to ascertain the trustworthiness of their testimony.

_ _ fallen asleep — in the sure hope of awaking at the resurrection (Acts 7:60).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:1-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes
