Read in Logos
Luke 24:38–39: And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”

Footnotes

  1. 104 Grk “that it is I myself.”
  2. 105 See note on “ghost” in v. .
  3. 106 Some Western (D it) lack 24:40. However, it is present in all other , including 𝔓75, and should thus be regarded as an original part of Luke’s Gospel.
  4. 107 They still could not believe it. Is this a continued statement of unbelief? Or is it a rhetorical expression of their amazement? They are being moved to faith, so a rhetorical force is more likely here.
  5. 108 Amazement is the common response to unusual activity: 1:63; 2:18; 4:22; 7:9; 8:25; 9:43; 11:14; 20:26.
  6. 109 Do you have anything here to eat? Eating would remove the idea that a phantom was present. Angelic spirits refused a meal in Jdt 13:16 and Tob 12:19, but accepted it in Gen 18:8; 19:3 and Tob 6:6.
  7. 110 Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of Jesus’ request for food.
