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.

<< Luke 24:37   Luke 24:39 >>


Luke 24:38

Why are ye troubled? - Why are you alarmed or frightened?

And why do thoughts ... - The word "thoughts" here means "doubts" or suspicions. It is used in this sense also in I Timothy 2:8. The doubts which they had were whether he was the Christ. He reproves them for doubting this; for,

1.The Scriptures had foretold his death;

2.He had himself repeatedly done it; and,

3.They had now the testimony of Peter that he had seen Jesus alive, and of the angels that he was risen. After all this evidence, Jesus reproves them for doubting whether he was truly the Messiah.
