Luke Chapter 24, Verse 34
From BibleWiki
34: λεγοντας οτι ηγερθη ο κυριος οντως και ωφθη σιμωνι
34: Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
34: Saying: The Lord is risen indeed and hath appeared to Simon.
Saying. The eleven said this.
Hath appeared to Simon. To Peter. It is not known precisely when this happened, as the time and place are not mentioned. Paul has referred to it in 1Cor 15:5, from which it appears that he appeared to Cephas or Peter before he did to any other of the apostles. This was a mark of special love and favour, and particularly, after Peter's denial, it showed how ready he was to pardon, and how willing to impart comfort to those who are penitent, though their sins are great.
