What does Acts 10:41 mean?
Not to all the people
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; ( Luke 24:42 Luke 24:43 ) ( John 21:12 John 21:15 ) and though
drinking is not mentioned, it is included in eating, as in (
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.
