39-43. Behold, &c.--lovingly offering them both ocular and
tangible demonstration of the reality of His resurrection.
a spirit hath not--an important statement regarding "spirits."
flesh and bones--He says not "flesh and blood"; for the
blood is the life of the animal and corruptible body
(Ge 9:4),
which "cannot inherit the kingdom of God"
(1Co 15:50);
but "flesh and bones," implying the identity, but with
diversity of laws, of the resurrection body. (See on
Joh 20:24-28).
