Verse 5
Peter was, of course, the leader of the disciples. Perhaps Paul referred to the Lord’s special appearance to Peter (Luke 24:34) because some in the Corinthian church revered Peter (1 Corinthians 1:12) as well as because he was the key disciple. "The twelve" refers to the 12 disciples even though only 11 of them were alive when the Lord appeared to them. This was a way of referring to that particular group of Jesus’ followers during His earthly ministry (Matthew 10:1).
