Bible Note: After looking back, Agreed, Jesus was directing most of his comments to Peter, but as I pointed out, the context shows that Peter wasn't there by himself. The other disciples were there as well. On a number of occasions, Jesus tells the disciples that they will receive access to greater abilities through the Holy Spirit. So while it's directed at Peter, it does not negate the fact that others were listening and would have applied the message to themselves as well. Peter wasn't the only Disciple after the Resurrection to have performed miracles and wonders. quvmoh |
