SCRIPTURE

"And afterward he was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen him after he was risen." — Mark 16:14 (ASV)

Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart,

Christ is full of love for them, yet he must upbraid them. He loves them, but he does not love their unbelief; indeed, he is more vexed with unbelief in them than in other people.

Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

The story of our Lord's appearance to the disciples is more fully told by Luke in Luke 24, to which let us turn.
