Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see - lovingly offering them both ocular and tangible demonstration of the reality of His resurrection.
For a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have - an important statement regarding 'spirits.' He says not "flesh and blood;" for the blood is the life of the animal and corruptible body (Genesis 9:4) which "cannot inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 15:50); but "flesh and bones" - implying the identity, but with diversity of laws, of the resurrection-body.
