The Scripture is sufficient to salvation. It was the evening of the first day of the week This phrase marks a significant moment in Christian history. The "first day of the week" refers to Sunday, which is now celebrated as the Lord's Day in commemoration of Jesus' resurrection. The Greek word for "week" is "sabbaton," which can also mean "Sabbath," indicating the transition from the Jewish Sabbath (Saturday) to the Christian day of worship (Sunday). This shift underscores the new creation inaugurated by Christ's resurrection, symbolizing a new beginning for humanity. the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked for fear of the Jews Jesus came and stood among them and said, 'Peace be with you.' (3) The manifestation to the ten disciples, corresponding with the second portion of the prayer, and followed by special conference of privilege. Verse 19. - When therefore it was evening, on that day, being the first day of the week; i.e. the close of the day on which the Lord had risen; on "that day" which became so memorable in the history of the Church. Consequently, after most astounding and independent revelations had been made to several individuals, about 8 p.m. there occurred that which John now proceeds to describe. The note of time identifies it with the scene and event described by Luke (Luke 24:36-43); consequently John had the former account before him in the record of his own reminiscences. To understand the full force of the passage we must bring to it the statements of Luke, Mark, and Paul. The disciples had been prepared, (1) by the reports of the women, that the grave had been opened and was empty, and that angelic appearances had asserted the resurrection of Jesus. (2) By the impression made on Peter and John when they found it as Mary and the other women had said. The disappearance of the body of Jesus, confirmed by the four independent lines of testimony, is strangely difficult to account for on any hypothesis except that of the Resurrection. The disciples were evidently confounded by the fact. The Pharisees and priestly party were quite aware that such an event would checkmate their supposed victory over a hated rival. The Roman soldiers were pledged in honor and by pride and passion not to allow themselves thus to be reduced to impotence. Hence there is no explanation of the rise or beginning of such a legend (see B. Weiss, 'Life of Jesus,' 3. pp. 390-395), except the historical fact. . . .
