Later
This word indicates a sequence of events following the resurrection of Jesus. It suggests a continuation of the narrative, emphasizing that the appearance of Jesus to the Eleven was not immediate but occurred after some time had passed. This timing underscores the patience and intentionality of Jesus in revealing Himself to His disciples, allowing them to process the reports of His resurrection.

as they were reclining at the table
In the cultural context of the time, reclining at the table was a common posture during meals, especially for significant gatherings. This setting implies a moment of fellowship and intimacy, where Jesus chose to reveal Himself. It highlights the importance of community and shared experiences in the early Christian tradition, where meals often served as a backdrop for teaching and revelation.

Jesus appeared
The Greek word for "appeared" (φανερόω, phaneroō) conveys the idea of making something visible or manifest. This appearance is not merely a vision or spiritual encounter but a physical manifestation of the risen Christ. It affirms the bodily resurrection of Jesus, a cornerstone of Christian faith, emphasizing that He was truly alive and present among His followers.

to the Eleven
This phrase refers to the remaining disciples after Judas Iscariot's betrayal and death. The number "Eleven" signifies the incomplete state of the apostolic group, yet it also points to the restoration and commissioning that would soon follow. Despite their failures, these men were chosen to carry forward the mission of the Gospel.

and rebuked them
The act of rebuking (Greek: ὀνειδίζω, oneidizō) involves expressing strong disapproval or criticism. Jesus' rebuke is not out of anger but out of love and a desire to correct and strengthen His disciples. It serves as a reminder that faith is essential, and unbelief can hinder one's ability to fully embrace the truth of the resurrection.

for their unbelief and hardness of heart
Unbelief (ἀπιστία, apistia) and hardness of heart (σκληροκαρδία, sklērokardia) are spiritual conditions that prevent individuals from accepting divine truth. In the scriptural context, these terms often describe a resistance to God's revelation. Jesus' rebuke highlights the necessity of faith and openness to the transformative power of the resurrection.

because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen
This phrase underscores the importance of testimony in the Christian faith. The disciples' initial skepticism towards the reports of Jesus' resurrection reflects a human tendency to doubt extraordinary claims. However, the resurrection is the foundation of Christian hope, and belief in the testimony of witnesses is crucial for the spread of the Gospel. Jesus' appearance serves to confirm the truth of the resurrection and to commission the disciples as witnesses to the world.

(14) Afterward he appeared unto the eleven.--See Notes on Luke 24:36-43.

Verse 14. - And afterward (ὕστερον δὲ) he was manifested (ἐφανερώθη) unto the eleven themselves (αὐτοῖς τοῖς ἔνδεκα) as they sat at meat. There is an emphasis here on the word "themselves." The former appearances had been to persons not having any official character. But now he appears to the eleven apostles, when they were all gathered together at the close of that memorable day. "Unto the eleven." If, as seems evident, this appearance refers to the day of our Lord's resurrection, there would be only ten present; for Thomas was not then with them. Still, they might be called the eleven, because the apostolic college was reduced to eleven after the betrayal by Judas; so that they might still be called the eleven, although Thomas was absent. St. Bernard says on this, "If Christ comes and is present when we sit at meat, how much more when we kneel in prayer!" He upbraided them (ὠνείδισε). This is a strong word of rebuke. They ought to have received the testimony of competent witnesses. But their doubts were only removed by the evidence of their senses; just as afterwards in the case of Thomas. St. Mark is always careful to record the rebukes administered by our Lord to his apostles.
