Luke 24:39-41
New English Translation

39 Look at my hands and my feet; it’s me![a] Touch me and see; a ghost[b] does not have flesh and bones like you see I have.” 40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.[c] 41 And while they still could not believe it[d] (because of their joy) and were amazed,[e] he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”[f]

Footnotes

  1. Luke 24:39 tn Grk “that it is I myself.”
  2. Luke 24:39 tn See tc note on “ghost” in v. 37.
  3. Luke 24:40 tc Some Western mss (D it) lack 24:40. However, it is present in all other mss, including P75, and should thus be regarded as an original part of Luke’s Gospel.
  4. Luke 24:41 sn 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. Luke 24:41 sn 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. Luke 24:41 sn Do you have anything here to eat? Eating would remove the idea that a phantom was present. Angelic spirits refused a meal in Judg 13:16 and Tob 12:19, but accepted it in Gen 18:8; 19:3 and Tob 6:6. (Tobit, a book of the OT Apocrypha, reflects views during the intertestamental period.)
