1 Corinthians 15 is considered by many to be “The Great Resurrection Chapter” contains six different instances of eyewitness accounts of the risen Savior. 

6 Eyewitness Accounts ~  “For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that

(1) He was seen by Cephas [Peter],

(2) then by the twelve. 

(3) After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. 

(4) After that He was seen by James,

(5) then by all the apostles [a large number, c.f. the twelve mentioned earlier. 

(6) Then last of all He was seen by me [the Apostle Paul] also, as by one born out of due time” (1 Corinthians 15:3-8). 

   

Eyewitness Accounts Over 40 Days  ~  “The former account [The Gospel According to Luke, by Dr. Luke] I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God” (Acts 1:1-3).
