Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
Not to all the people - for it was not fitting that He should subject Himself, in His risen condition, to a second rejection in Person.
But unto witnesses chosen before of God, х prokecheirotoneemenois (G4401)]. The word signifies to 'choose by show of hands,' and then to 'choose' in any way. Even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. Not the less certain, therefore, was the fact of His resurrection, though withholding Himself from general gaze in his risen body.
