1 Corinthians 15 — Context

For I gave to you first of all what was handed down to me, how Christ underwent death for our sins, as it says in the Writings;

And he was put in the place of the dead; and on the third day he came back from the dead, as it says in the Writings;

And he was seen by Cephas; then by the twelve;

Then by more than five hundred brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, but some are sleeping;

Then he was seen by James; then by all the Apostles.

And last of all, as by one whose birth was out of the right time, he was seen by me.

For I am the least of the Apostles, having no right to be named an Apostle, because of my cruel attacks on the church of God.
