Jesus Appears to His Disciples

36 aNow as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.”  
37 But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen aa spirit.  
38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?
39 Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. aHandle Me and see, for a bspirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.”  
40 1When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.  
41 But while they still did not believe afor joy, and marveled, He said to them, b“Have you any food here?”  
42 So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish1 and some honeycomb.  
43 aAnd He took it and ate in their presence.

Barnes' Notes
<< Luke 24:35   Luke 24:37 >>


Luke 24:36-37

Jesus stood in the midst of them - This was when the apostles were assembled, and when they had closed the doors for fear of the Jews, John 20:19. It was this fact, as well as his sudden and unexpected appearance, that alarmed them. The doors were shut, and the suddenness of his appearance led them to suppose they had seen a spirit.

Peace be unto you - This was a form of salutation among the Hebrews denoting a wish of peace and prosperity. See Genesis 43:23. It was especially appropriate for Jesus, as he had said before his death that he left "his peace" with them as their inheritance John 14:27, and as they were now alarmed and fearful at their state, and trembling for fear of the Jews, John 20:19.
