ISB ~ 1 Corinthians 15 v7

James:Known as “James the Lord’s brother” (Gal 1:19), a kinsman of Jesus (Mt 13:55) and the first appointed bishop of Jerusalem (Acts 12:17; 15:13). Only here is it stated in Scripture that Christ appeared to him personally.

the apostles:Probably refers to a wider circle of disciples than the “Twelve” (15:5), as is sometimes the case in the NT (Acts 14:14; 2 Cor 8:23).
