AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 15:5 and that He appeared to Cephas (Peter), then to the Twelve. |
Bible Question: Who was the twelveth person in this verse? |
Bible Answer: Hello e.lee, The verse reads, "and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve." (NASB) So, the reference would clearly be to the disciples. As The Commentary Critical notes, "seen of Cephas--Peter ( Luke 24:34 ). the twelve--The round number for "the Eleven" ( Luke 24:33 Luke 24:36 ). "The Twelve" was their ordinary appellation, even when their number was not full. However, very possibly Matthias was present ( Acts 1:22 Acts 1:23 ). Some of the oldest manuscripts and versions read, "the Eleven": but the best on the whole, "the Twelve." I hope this helps, BradK |
