Luca 24:40 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:40

And when he had thus spoken
And put them into a method of satisfying themselves by their senses: he showed them his hands and his feet;
that is, he held them forth to be seen and handled by them, which no doubt they did; and which were the infallible proofs by which he showed himself alive to them after his passion; and by which they knew the truth of his incarnation, or that he assumed a true and real body, and of the resurrection of the same body; see ( Acts 1:3 ) ( 1 John 1:1 ) .

Luca 24:40 In-Context

38 Ed egli disse loro: Perchè siete turbati? e perchè salgono ragionamenti ne’ cuori vostri?

39 Vedete le mie mani, e i miei piedi; perciocchè io son desso; palpatemi, e vedete; poichè uno spirito non ha carne, nè ossa, come mi vedete avere.

40 E detto questo, mostrò loro le mani, e i piedi.

41 Ma, non credendo essi ancora per l’allegrezza, e maravigliandosi, egli disse loro: Avete voi qui alcuna cosa da mangiare?

42 Ed essi gli diedero un pezzo di pesce arrostito, e di un fiale di miele.
