Luke 24:43 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:43

And he took it, and did eat before them.
] That is, he took both the fish, and the honeycomb, and ate of them before them, they looking on all the while; and which was a proof of his being truly risen from the dead, and not a spectre, or apparition, and which they failed not afterwards to make use of; see ( Acts 10:41 ) . The Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions add, "he took the rest, or what remained, and gave it to them".

45 And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.
