37 Mas eles, espantados e atemorizados, pensavam que viam algum espírito.

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 Então os dois contaram o que acontecera no caminho, e como se lhes fizera conhecer no partir do pão.

36 Enquanto ainda falavam nisso, o próprio Jesus se apresentou no meio deles, e disse-lhes: Paz seja convosco.

37 Mas eles, espantados e atemorizados, pensavam que viam algum espírito.

38 Ele, porém, lhes disse: Por que estais perturbados? e por que surgem dúvidas em vossos corações?

39 Olhai as minhas mãos e os meus pés, que sou eu mesmo; apalpai-me e vede; porque um espírito não tem carne nem ossos, como percebeis que eu tenho.
