traditional interpretation is John, one of the 12, to emphasize the gospels came from the 12

appears in the last few chapters of John at the last supper, arrest, and crucifixion
closer to JEsus than anyone, but acknowledges Peter as authority
key figure in early years because he witnessed Jesus' life, and he was most likely an early speaker |

Definition
proof of resurrection is the witnesses of Peter and the 12, and the 500 Christians
important because if Jesus didnt rise, theres no hope for an afterlife
gives truth to afterlife; if united with Jesus, you will rise
uses the seed and plant imagery to convey the continuity between the risen body and the human body
says earthly body decays, but the heavenly body is a different kind of matter and does not change |
