Luke 24:41 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Luke 24:41

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.”

Luke 24:39-43

Behold, etc.—lovingly offering them both ocular and tangible demonstration of the reality of His resurrection.

a spirit hath not—an important statement regarding "spirits."

flesh and bones—He says not "flesh and blood"; for the blood is the life of the animal and corruptible body (Genesis 9:4), which "cannot inherit the kingdom of God" (I Corinthians 15:50); but "flesh and bones," implying the identity, but with diversity of laws, of the resurrection body. (See on John 20:24-28).
