This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
39. ψηλαφήσατέ με. “Which we have looked upon and our hands have handled (ἐψηλάφησαν) of the Word of Life,” 1Jn 1:1; comp. Joh 20:20; Joh 20:27. For other uses of the word see Act 17:27; Heb 12:18.
σάρκα καὶ ὀστέα. “I am not a bodiless spirit” are words attributed to Him in Ignatius (ad Smyrn. 3). Clemens of Alexandria has preserved a curious, but utterly baseless, legend, that St John, touching the body, found that his hands passed through it. From the omission of “blood” with “flesh and bones” very precarious inferences have been drawn.
