Commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:7

Theological / Devotional

James. There is no evidence as to which James is meant, but most commentators identify him with James, the Lord’s brother. For a discussion of the identities of the various men called James see Introduction to the Epistle of James. There is no other record of the Lord’s appearance to James, but if the James mentioned here was indeed the Lord’s brother, and the leader in the church council at Jerusalem (see on Acts 12:17 ; 15:13), then Paul had met him in Jerusalem and would doubtless have personal testimony from James concerning the appearance to which reference is here made.

Of all the apostles. This doubtless refers to Christ’s last appearance to the apostles, at the time of His ascension to heaven (see Acts 1:6—12).
