“They Were in Number About Two Thousand and Five Hundred Souls”
Paul said that after the resurrection of Christ in Jerusalem, he was seen by “Cephas, then of the twelve: after that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then all of the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.” (1 Corinthians 15:5-8.) Hundreds of men, women, and children, on both continents, became special witnesses of the world’s greatest miracle-the resurrection of Christ. The testimonies of these twenty-five hundred literally stand as “another testament of Jesus Christ.”
