This is the only place where Paul mentions “the Twelve,” which suggests that he is drawing from
the tradition. “The Twelve” refers to the disciples of Jesus, and the continued use of this number,
even after Judas’s defection, shows its important pre-Easter symbolic significance to the disciples.
To the twelve: further coincidence with Lu 24:36ff, which is confirmed by Joh 20:19ff. The twelve
had so thoroughly become a technical term for the original apostles both before and after (Ac 6:2)
the death of Christ that it is used here although one had fallen from the ranks. This makes it
possible and likely that Paul refers to the appearance in Joh 20:19 when Thomas also was present.
Perhaps the term twelve is used here merely to point out the society of the apostles, who, though
at this time they were only eleven, were still called the twelve, because this was their original
number, and a number which was afterward filled up. Jn 20:24
The appearance to Peter was a cry of the early disciples: “It is true! The Lord has risen and has
appeared to Simon” (Luke 24:34).
By the twelve-This was their standing appellation; but their full number was not then present.
notes the “pedantic correction” to “eleven” made by some texts, versions, and writers. The
phenomenon appears in reverse at Acts 1:26.
Then of the twelve. The apostles; still called “the twelve,” though Judas was not one of
them. It was common to call the apostles “the twelve.” Jesus appeared to the apostles at one
time in the absence of Thomas (John 20:19, 24); and also to them when Thomas was
present, John 20:24–29 Probably Paul here refers to the latter occasion, when all the
surviving apostles were present.
This is the only place where Paul refers to the Twelve—a fairly clear indication that he is
here quoting a formula he did not himself make up, and that the notion of a group of twelve
special disciples is pre-Pauline, and therefore very early. The Twelve appear to have played
some part in the story of Jesus, and to have served as witnesses who could prove the
continuity between Jesus of Nazareth and the risen Lord, but not to have been significant
figures in the church, at least after the earliest period. The gospels contain accounts of
appearances to the Twelve (or more precisely the Eleven, Judas Iscariot being removed
from the original number—see note 1 on p. 335): Matt. 28:16 f.; Luke 24:33–51 (but here
others are present with the Eleven); John 20:19–23 (here Thomas is absent, but others may
be present), 26–9 (Thomas is included); compare Acts 1:3.
But how is it that he says, that he appeared to the twelve, when, after the death of Judas,
there were only eleven remaining? Chrysostom is of opinion that this took place after
Matthias had been chosen in his room. Others have chosen rather to correct the expression,
looking upon it as a mistake 808 But as we know, that there were twelve in number that were
set apart by Christ’s appointment, though one of them had been expunged from the roll,
there is no, absurdity in supposing that the name was retained. On this principle, there was
a body of men at Rome that were called Centumviri, 809 while they were in number
102. 810 By the twelve, therefore, you are simply to understand the chosen Apostles.
His appearance to the whole number of the disciples we have recorded, Joh 20:19: they are called
twelve, ( though Judas was now dead, and Thomas at that time was not there), because twelve
was the number that God had appointed the college of apostles to consist of; so, Ge 42:13, the
children of Jacob said they were twelve brethren, though they thought at that time that Joseph
(who made the twelfth) was dead. This is much more probably the sense, than the fancy of some,
that Barnabas, who was afterward chosen to supply the room of Judas, being at that time a
disciple, might at that time be with them; for admit he were, yet Thomas, we are sure, was at that
time absent.
1 The Western Text pedantically corrects to Eleven. There is no need to treat the whole clause as a
gloss (Weiss).

Granville Penn supposes that the common reading εἰ̂ τα τοι̂ς δώδεκα then to the twelve, is a
corruption for εἰ̂ τα τοι̂ς δε δεκα — and then to the ten, understanding the Apostle as meaning,
that Christ appeared first to Cephas, and then to the other ten. Dr. Adam Clarke, after stating that
“instead of δώδεκα, twelve, ἓνδεκα, eleven is the reading of D* E F G, Syriac in the margin, some of
the Slavonic, Armenian, Vulgate, Itala, and several of the Fathers,” and that “this reading is
supported by Mark 16:14,” remarks: “Perhaps the term twelve is used here merely to point out the
society of the Apostles. who, though at this time they were only eleven, were still called the
twelve, because this was their original number, and a number which was afterwards filled up.”

The reader will find the same term referred to byCALVIN when commenting on 1 Corinthians
10:8. (See CALVIN on the Corinthians, volume) — Ed.
The fourth and final “that” (ὅτι, hoti) clause mentions the importance of the post-
resurrection appearances to Peter and then to the rest of the Twelve. That Jesus appeared
(ὤφθη, ōphthē) to the Twelve was widely known in the relevant documents of the early
church, namely in the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles. Paul explicitly states that his
earlier preaching and teaching to the Corinthians included the facts about the Lord’s
appearance to the Twelve and their resurrection belief. Paul’s personal eyewitness of the
vision on the road to Damascus would hardly have had the same force for authentication of
the resurrection as the eyewitness testimony of the Twelve.
This is the sole occurrence of this term “the Twelve” (τοι̂ς δώδεκα, tois dōdeka) in
Paul’s letters, and he uses it here in reference to the Twelve Apostles (cf. Matt 10:2; Mark
3:16; Acts 6:2; Rev 21:14). Peter (=Cephas) is singled out by Paul as the only member of
the Twelve to name, a fact that possibly reflects Peter’s own special leadership among the
Twelve. Peter is clearly the only one of the Twelve mentioned by name as having a
following among some of the Corinthians (1:12; 3:22; cf. 9:5). As was made clear in
Luke’s presentation of the criteria for replacing Judas (Acts 1), Paul himself could never be
one of the Twelve. This group held a special place in this history of the church and, in the
words of Luke’s Gospel, fulfilled a unique kingdom ministry of sitting on thrones and
judging the twelve tribes of Israel (Luke 22:30).

each occasion from heaven.75 The first appearance, to Cephas (on the name see 1:12*), is

What I mean is that each of you says, “I belong to Paul,” or “I belong to Apollos,” or “I belong to
Cephas,” or “I belong to Christ.”

then of the twelve:—This was the common designation of the smaller circle of disciples,
although it was not then complete [“twelve being a name, not of number, but of office”];
and the manifestation here alluded to (Luke 24:36 ff.; John 20:19 ff.) is not to be
confounded with that which followed eight days after (John 20:26). Thomas also was not
present. The apostles appear also here as witnesses of the resurrection of Christ (Acts 2:23;
3:15; 10:40 ff.; 13:31). By ὥφθη, was seen, we are to understand a literal perception by the
senses, and not a vision.
Actually the twelve were not all together at this time, but the expression the twelve was
used to denote the body of disciples, even though not complete at any one particular
moment. It should be stated that not all the appearances which are recorded in the Gospels
are mentioned in this list. The Spirit of God selects those resurrection appearances of Christ
which are most pertinent for His use.
5 And that He was seen (after His Resurrection) of Cephas (Peter), then of the Twelve
(proving that Paul was not meant to be the Twelfth Apostle, as some claim):
The expression “twelve apostles” was a title for the original disciples—sometimes they are
called “the Twelve.” But this title doesn’t always signify that twelve apostles were present.
By the time of the Resurrection, Judas Iscariot and another apostle, Thomas, were not
present at Christ’s first appearance. These appearances are recorded in Mark 16:14; Luke
24:36–43; John 20:19–31.

to 12 by the addition of Matthias (see Acts 1:15–26).
‘then to the twelve.’ As we know, it was really at first only to ten of the whole number
(John 20:19, 24; comp. Luke 24:36), and, a week afterwards, to eleven (John 20:26): but
the term had already become official, and referred to the collective body rather than to the
precise number of which the body, at the time referred to, actually consisted. To suppose
that the term implies that our Lord appeared also to St Matthew (Chrys., al.), is clearly to
over-press a very natural form of expression. Most expositors rightly call attention to the
repetition of the temporal adverbs, and to the ἔσχατον πάντων (ver. 8), as implying that the
Apostle is here generally following a chronological order: see contra Wieseler, Chron.
Synops. p. 420 sq., who does not appear to have assigned to this passage the importance,
considered chronologically, that is due to it.
