So, Matthew 28:17 , some doubted, i.e. one, Thomas. See also Genesis 8:4 ; Judges 12:7 ; Nehemiah 6:7 , etc. By a figure called among rhetoricians enallagè , the plural is put for the singular; it is, however, possible that Judas, who made the objection, was followed in the sentiment by the rest of the disciples.
