Commentary on Acts 10:41

Theological / Devotional

Not to all. The Jews in general, having failed to recognize Jesus as the Messiah foretold in OT prophecy, were not likely to be willing witnesses to His resurrection. The fact that even some of the disciples were at first unprepared to accept the risen Christ illustrates how unavailing a public appearance to the Jews in general would have been.

Witnesses chosen before. The disciples had been chosen from the beginning not only to aid Jesus in His ministry but, even more, to be witnesses after His departure to what they had seen and heard.

To us. See Acts 1:3; 1 Corinthians 15:5-8.

Did eat and drink. His eating and drinking was the crucial test that proved Christ was no phantom of the disciples’ imagination.
