‏ Luke 24:39

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).
