"Him God raised up the third day, and gave Him to be made manifest" "Granted that He should become visible" (NASV). Not to all the people, but unto witnesses that were chosen before of God, even to us, who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead" The official witnesses of the resurrection were those who ate and drank with Jesus after He arose, that is the apostles (Luke 24:33). Even though Jesus did appear to over 500 individuals (1 Corinthians 15:6), many of his appearances were limited to the apostles. "Ate and drank" "Furnished the clearest possible proof that He was truly risen. It was not. phantom or ghost or apparition that the disciples saw" (Reese p. 399). It is clear that the apostles taught. bodily resurrection.
