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 And while they were saying these things, he himself was among them, and said to them, Peace be with you!

37 But they were full of fear, being of the opinion that they were seeing a spirit.

38 And he said to them, Why are you troubled, and why are your hearts full of doubt?

39 See; my hands and my feet: it is I myself; put your hands on me and make certain; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.

40 And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his feet.
