Verse 20 The first-fruits. Jesus Christ was the first who arose to immortality. Others, as Lazarus, (John 11:1-57) the son of the woman of Shunem, (2 Kings 4:32-37,) and of the widow of Nain, (Luke 7:12-15,) were only restored to this mortal life, and therefore were not cases of resurrection in the sense of this chapter.
