Deut. vi. 4.

[019]

Gen. i. 26; iii. 22; xi. 7. Different views have been taken of these passages. Some commentators think the plural forms represent the plural of majesty. There is, however, no indication in the Old Testament or in ancient monumental inscriptions that sovereigns had adopted this style of speech. Nebuchadnezzar and Darius begin their proclamations with the singular first personal pronoun "I"; not with the plural "We" which modern kings assume. On the Moabite stone Mesha uses "I," not "We," throughout the inscription in which he records his achievements. Another view is that Moses, accustomed to hear of the numerous gods of Egypt, used the plural inadvertently. This supposition does not accord with any view of inspiration held by evangelical churches. The interpretation which regards the passages as early indications of the doctrine of the Trinity is simple and natural, and accords with the principle of gradual revelation which is apparent in Scripture.

[129]

Jesus appears to have shown Himself during the forty days after His Resurrection at least ten times, viz.— 1. To Mary Magdalene, Mark xvi. 9; John xx. 11-18. 2. To two disciples, Mark xvi. 12; Luke xxiv. 13-32. 3. To Peter on same day, Luke xxiv. 34; Cor. xv. 5. 4. To ten Apostles, Thomas only being absent, John xx. 19-25. 5. To all the Apostles, Mark xvi.14; John xx. 26-29; 1 Cor. xv. 7. 6. To the women at the sepulchre, Matt, xxviii. 9, 10. 7. To the Apostles, and at this time probably to five hundred others, on a mountain in Galilee, Matt, xxviii. 16-20; 1 Cor. xv. 6. 8. To seven disciples at Tiberias, John xxi. 1-24. 9. To James, 1 Cor. xv. 7. 10. To the Apostles at His Ascension, Mark xvi. 15-18: Luke xxiv. 44-50; Acts i. 4-8; 1 Cor. xv. 7. These seem to be all the appearances recorded, but there were probably many others, Acts i. 3. After His Ascension He appeared to Saul of Tarsus, Acts ix. 3-18; 1 Cor. xv. 8. He was seen by Stephen also, Acts vii. 55, 56.
