Lucas 24:37 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:37

But they were terrified and affrighted
At the sight of him, and at his sudden appearance among them, without being heard, or seen before, and the doors shut and bolted; they could not tell how to account for it, that it should be Jesus himself risen from the dead in his own body, though they had been just speaking of his resurrection, and had had a confirmation of it from the disciples that went to Emmaus: and supposed that they had seen a spirit;
that what they saw was a phantom, or apparition, or a spirit, that had assumed, and appeared in, the shape of Jesus, and was not he himself.

Lucas 24:37 In-Context

35 Y ellos contaban sus experiencias en el camino, y cómo le habían reconocido en el partir del pan.

36 Mientras ellos relataban estas cosas, Jesús se puso en medio de ellos, y les dijo: Paz a vosotros.

37 Pero ellos, aterrorizados y asustados, pensaron que veían un espíritu.

38 Y El les dijo: ¿Por qué estáis turbados, y por qué surgen dudas en vuestro corazón?

39 Mirad mis manos y mis pies, que soy yo mismo; palpadme y ved, porque un espíritu no tiene carne ni huesos como veis que yo tengo.
