rwp @Acts:10:41 @{Chosen before } (\prokecheiroton ˆmenois \). Perfect passive participle dative plural from \procheirotone “\, to choose or designate by hand (\cheirotone “, cheir \, hand , and \tein “\, to stretch , as in strkjv @Acts:14:23 ; strkjv @2Corinthians:8:19 |), beforehand (\pro \), a double compound as old as Plato , but here alone in the N .T . Peter is evidently stating the thing as it happened and not trying to make a convincing story by saying that both friends and foes saw him after his resurrection . It is the "historian 's candour " (Paley ) in Luke here that adds to the credibility of the narrative . The sceptical Jews would not have believed and Jesus was kept from open contact with the world of sin after his Passion . {To us who did eat and drink with him } (\h ˆmin hoitines sunephagomen kai sunepiomen aut “i \). The "who " (\hoitines \) is first person agreeing with "us " (\h ˆmin \). Second aorist active indicative of the common verbs \sunesthi “\ and \sumpin “\. \Aut “i \ is associative instrumental case . There are difficulties to us in understanding how Jesus could eat and drink after the resurrection as told here and in strkjv @Luke:24:41-3 |, but at any rate Peter makes it clear that it was no hallucination or ghost , but Jesus himself whom they saw after he rose from the dead , "after the rising as to him " (\meta to anast ˆnai auton \, \meta \ with the accusative articular infinitive second aorist active and the accusative \auton \ of general reference ). Furneaux dares to think that the disciples misunderstood Jesus about eating after the resurrection . But that is to deny the testimony merely because we cannot explain the transition state of the body of Jesus .
