Ver. 40. ἐν τῇτ. ἡμ.: Only alluded to herein Acts, but a positive testimony from St. Peter to the resurrection appearances on the third day, 1 Cor. xv. 4; the expression is specially emphasised by St. Luke in his Gospel, where it occurs some six Εἴπιες.---ἐμφανῆ yev.: a phrase only found here and in Rom. x. 20, in a quotation from Isa.
