Footnotes

  1. 99 The disciples were still not comfortable at this point thinking that this could be Jesus raised from the dead. Instead they thought they saw a spirit.
  2. 100 This is not a reference to “a phantom” as read by the Western D. For πνεῦμα (pneuma) having the force of “ghost,” or “an independent noncorporeal being, in contrast to a being that can be perceived by the physical senses,” see πνεῦμα 4.
