And as they thus spoke, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and said unto them,
Peace be unto you.
All Commentaries on Luke 24:36 Go To Luke 24
John of Damascus
AD 749
After his resurrection from the dead, he put aside all his passions: ruin, hunger and thirst, sleep and fatigue, and the like. Although he did taste food after his resurrection, it was not in obedience to any law of nature. He did not feel hunger, but at the appointed time, he confirmed the truth of the resurrection by showing that the flesh which had suffered and that which had risen were the same.
