Not to all the people, etc.] Of the Jews, who crucified him; nor to the whole body of the Christians, though at one time to a large number, even five hundred brethren at once: but unto witnesses chosen before of God; by Christ himself, who is God: even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead; namely, to the apostles, with whom he familiarly conversed by times, for the space of forty days after his resurrection; and Beza’s most ancient copy; and the Ethiopic version here add, “forty days”; and particularly he did sometimes eat and drink with them; (<422442>Luke 24:42,43, <432112>John 21:12,15) and though drinking is not mentioned, it is included in eating, as in (<420736>Luke 7:36) wherefore there is no need to connect the last clause, “after he rose from the dead”, with the latter part of the preceding verse, as some do, on that account.
