Acts 23:11 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
This great witness of Christ received the presence of the Lord to comfort and direct him.
Acts 26:16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
Seeing the Lord is necessary to be a true witness of Him.
1 Corinthians 15:6 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
It is helpful to know specific people who have seen the Lord, or specific groups.
1 Corinthians 15:8 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
And then we learn that this large group of people also saw the resurrected Lord.
