Luke 24:38 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 24:38

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.

The Scriptures Opened

44 Then He said to them, ^a“These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.”

45 And ^aHe opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.
