Touch me and see, for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”(B) 40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.[c] 41 Yet for all their joy they were still disbelieving and wondering, and he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?”(C) 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish,[d] 43 and he took it and ate in their presence.(D)
