Zij gaven hem toen een stuk van een gebakken vis; hij nam het en at het voor hun ogen op. Nu zeide hij tot hen: Dit is wat ik tot u gezegd heb, terwijl ik nog bij u was, dat alwat in de wet van Mozes, de profeten en de psalmen van mij geschreven staat vervuld moet worden. Toen verhelderde hij hun inzicht, zodat zij de Schriften verstonden, en zeide tot hen: Zo staat geschreven: dat de Christus zou lijden en ten derden dage uit de doden opstaan, en dat met gebruikmaking van zijn naam onder alle volken bekering verkondigd zou worden, tot schuldvergiffenis--te beginnen van Jeruzalem. Gij zijt daarvan getuigen. En zie, ik zend u de belofte van mijn Vader; blijft in de stad totdat gij met kracht uit den Hooge zult toegerust zijn. Toen leidde hij hen uit tot bij Bethanie, hief de handen op en zegende hen. En terwijl hij hen zegende, scheidde hij van hen. En zij keerden in grote blijdschap naar Jeruzalem terug en bleven voortdurend in de tempel, God lovend.

Reciprocal: John 20:20 - he showed

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Behold my hands ... - Jesus proceeds to give them evidence that he was truly the same person that had been crucified. He first showed them his hands and his feet - still, pierced, and with the wounds made by the nails still open. Compare John 20:27. He told them to handle him and see him. He ate before them. All this was to satisfy them that he was not, as they supposed, a spirit. Nor could better evidence have been given. He appealed to their senses, and performed acts which a disembodied spirit could not do.

Handle me - Or touch me; feel of me. Compare John 20:27.

And see - Be convinced, for you could not thus handle a spirit. The object here was to convince them that his body had really come to life.

For a spirit ... - He appeals here to what they well knew; and this implies that the spirit may exist separate from the body. That was the view of the apostles, and our Saviour distinctly countenances that belief.

Luke 24:41

Believed not for joy - Their joy was so great, and his appearance was so sudden and unexpected, that they were bewildered, and still sought more evidence of the truth of what they “wished” to believe. This is nature. We have similar expressions in our language. “The news is too good to be true;” or, “I cannot believe it; it is too much for me.”

Any meat - This word does not mean “meat” in our sense of it, but in the old English sense, denoting “anything to eat.”

Luke 24:42

Honey-comb - Honey abounded in Palestine, and was a very common article of food. Bees lived in caves of the rocks, in the hollows of trees, and were also kept as with us. The disciples gave, probably, just what was their own common fare, and what was ready at the time.
