Luke 24:38 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:38

And he said unto them, why are ye troubled
Who had more reason to rejoice, and be glad, as they were when they knew that it was Jesus: and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
whether what they saw was Jesus, or an apparition, which gave them a great deal of trouble and uneasiness, and filled them with fright and terror; as it was, and is usual with persons when they fancy they see a spirit, or an apparition; see ( Matthew 14:26 ) .

Luke 24:38 In-Context

36 As they said these things, Yeshua himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, "Shalom be to you."

37 But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they saw a spirit.

38 He said to them, "Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39 See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn't have flesh and bones, as you see that I have."

40 When he had said this, he shown them his hands and his feet.
