Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 1:3

3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion, by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

the Apostles,

eating, drinking, speaking, walking with them, nay shewing them his very wounds, and permitting them to be touched. God suffering Thomas his infidelity to contribute to the strengthning of our Faith.

Not continually, but upon occasion as he pleased; it was so long from his Resurrection to his Ascension: and the same place in which God shewed himself unto Moses in mount Sina. So long also he was pleased to stay with them, that he might more abundantly testifie the truth of his Humanity, and of his Resurrection.

Either his Kingdom in Heaven, the Church Triumphant, or his Kingdom on Earth, the Church Militant. What future bliss and happiness he was going to prepare; And what means they ought to use towards the obtaining of it.
