OUR LORD APPEARS AFTER HIS ASCENSION. 1 Corinthians 15:8
1. And last of all, as to the [child] untimely born, he appeared to me also. Since Paul reckons this among the bodily appearances of our Lord,we have included it in our work; but it borders upon those spiritualappearances which belong rather to apostolic history and may be classedwith the vision of Stephen ( Acts 7:55 ) and John ( Revelation 1:9-17 ), towhich it was near kin. Accounts of the appearance will be found in Acts 9:3-8 ; Acts 22:6-11 ; Acts 26:12-18 .
