This was now the third time
The phrase "the third time" emphasizes the completeness and confirmation of Jesus' resurrection appearances to His disciples. In Jewish tradition, the number three often signifies completeness or stability. This third appearance solidifies the reality of the resurrection, providing the disciples with undeniable evidence of Jesus' victory over death. The repetition of His appearances underscores the importance of the resurrection as a foundational truth of the Christian faith.

Jesus appeared
The Greek word for "appeared" is "phaneroō," which means to make manifest or visible. This is not merely a spiritual or visionary appearance but a physical manifestation of the risen Christ. Jesus' appearances were tangible and real, providing the disciples with a concrete encounter with the resurrected Lord. This physical manifestation is crucial for the disciples' faith and for the proclamation of the Gospel, as it affirms the bodily resurrection of Jesus.

to the disciples
The term "disciples" refers to Jesus' closest followers, who were witnesses to His life, death, and resurrection. These appearances to the disciples are significant because they were chosen to be the primary witnesses and proclaimers of the resurrection. The disciples' transformation from fear to boldness in their witness is a testament to the reality of their encounters with the risen Christ.

after He was raised from the dead
The phrase "raised from the dead" is central to Christian doctrine, affirming the power of God over death and the promise of eternal life. The resurrection is the cornerstone of Christian hope, demonstrating that Jesus is the Son of God with authority over life and death. This event fulfills Old Testament prophecies and Jesus' own predictions about His resurrection, confirming His identity and mission. The resurrection is not only a historical event but also a transformative reality for believers, offering assurance of their own resurrection and eternal life through faith in Christ.

(14) This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples.--Better, . . . that Jesus was manifested . . .--Comp. Note on John 21:1. The writer is giving his own witness. He passes over, therefore, the appearances to Mary Magdalene and others, and counting only those "to the disciples"--to the Ten on the first Easter day, and to the Eleven on its octave--gives this appearance as the third. (Comp. Note on 1Corinthians 15:5-7.)

Verse 14. - This is now - or, as Meyer puts it, this time already is - the third time that Jesus was manifested (passive, not active, as in ver. 1) to the disciples, after that he was risen from the dead; or, when he had been raised from the dead. The implication is that there had up to this time been no other manifestation to groups of his disciples than those which John had related. Therefore those other occurrences mentioned by Luke, Matthew, and Paul must be supposed to lie still in the future. That there were other manifestations is not obscurely hinted by the word ἤδη. The appearances to the women, to Cephas and James, are not of the class so carefully described by John. The εϊτα τοῖς δώδεκα of 1 Corinthians 15:5, etc., might be regarded as this third manifestation to the disciples (Luthardt). Godet agrees that the two appearances in Luke (Emmaus and Peter) are not reckoned by John, any more than that made to Mary Magdalene. The statement, "to the disciples," is clearly the explanation. Paul mentions the appearance

(1) to Simon Peter;

(2) then to the twelve (John 20:19, 26);

(3) to the five hundred, at the head of whom may have been the eleven of Matthew 28:16-20; . . .
