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 Jesús se aparece a los discípulos
Luego los dos de Emaús les contaron cómo Jesús se les había aparecido mientras iban por el camino y cómo lo habían reconocido cuando partió el pan.

36 Entonces, justo mientras contaban la historia, de pronto Jesús mismo apareció de pie en medio de ellos.
les dijo.

37 Pero todos quedaron asustados y temerosos; ¡pensaban que veían un fantasma!

38 —les preguntó—.

39 Miren mis manos. Miren mis pies. Pueden ver que de veras soy yo. Tóquenme y asegúrense de que no soy un fantasma, pues los fantasmas no tienen cuerpo, como ven que yo tengo».
