ὕστερον, at a later time; vague indication, here only. It is difficult to identify this appearance with any one mentioned in the other Gospels. What follows in Mark 16:15, containing the final commission, seems to point to the farewell appearance in Galilee (Matthew 28:16), but the ἀνακειμένοις (Mark 16:14) takes us to the scene related in Luke 24:36-43, though more than the Eleven were present on that occasion. The suggestion has been made (Meyer, Weiss, etc.) that the account here blends together features taken from various appearances. The main points for the narrator are that Jesus did appear to the Eleven, and that He found them in an unbelieving mood.
