And when he had thus spoken,…. And put them into a method of satisfying themselves by their senses:

he showed them his hands and his feet; that is, he held them forth to be seen and handled by them, which no doubt they did; and which were the infallible proofs by which he showed himself alive to them after his passion; and by which they knew the truth of his incarnation, or that he assumed a true and real body, and of the resurrection of the same body; see Ac 1:3.

This verse is probably authentic. It has questionable textual support and is similar to, but not identical to, Joh 20:20. However, the differences with Joh 20:20 and the textual support favor inclusion in our versions. Evidently Jesus offered the disciples His hands, feet, and side for them to examine as further proof that His body was real.

Docetism was a heresy in the early history of the church that denied that Jesus’ body was genuinely human. These verses would have helped the early Christians combat this error. However these statements are not the strongest proofs of Jesus’ humanity since everyone agrees that Jesus’ resurrection body was different from His pre-resurrection body. Better proof consists of the evidences of Jesus’ true humanity before His resurrection. Luke gave his original Greek readers many such proofs in this Gospel.
