Paragraph 2. ON THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD
642
Everything that happened during those Paschal days involves each of the
apostles – and Peter in particular – in the building of the new era begun on
Easter morning. As witnesses of the Risen One, they remain the foundation
stones of his Church. the faith of the first community of believers is based on
the witness of concrete men known to the Christians and for the most part still
living among them. Peter and the Twelve are the primary “witnesses to his
Resurrection”, but they are not the only ones – Paul speaks clearly of
more than five hundred persons to whom Jesus appeared on a single occasion and
also of James and of all the apostles.501
