Luca 24:38

38 Ed egli disse loro: Perché siete turbati? E perché vi sorgono in cuore tali pensieri?

Luca 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 ) .

Luca 24:38 In-Context

36 Or mentr’essi parlavano di queste cose, Gesù stesso comparve in mezzo a loro, e disse: Pace a voi!
37 Ma essi, smarriti e impauriti, pensavano di vedere uno spirito.
38 Ed egli disse loro: Perché siete turbati? E perché vi sorgono in cuore tali pensieri?
39 Guardate le mie mani ed i miei piedi, perché son ben io; palpatemi e guardate; perché uno spirito non ha carne e ossa come vedete che ho io.
40 E detto questo, mostrò loro le mani e i piedi.
