Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have — look at my hands and my feet: the wounds of the crucifixion as the resurrection evidence. It is I myself (egō eimi autos): the personal identity assertion. Touch me and see: the invitation to physical contact that a ghost cannot provide. Flesh and bones (sarka kai ostea): the physical, bodily resurrection — not a ghost, not a spiritual apparition, but the bodily risen Lord.
