LUKE 24:44 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
Luke 24:43Luke 24:45
“And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.”
He said to them, this is what I told you while I was still with you: everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms — this is what I told you while I was still with you: the retrospective reference to the passion predictions and the Galilean teaching. Everything must be fulfilled that is written in the Law, Prophets, and Psalms: the tripartite Hebrew canon — the complete Scripture is the witness to Jesus.

Church Fathers on Luke 24:44

The Lord had shown His disciples His hands and His feet, that He might certify to them that the same body which had suffered rose again. But to confirm them still more, He asked for something to eat.

Cyril of Alexandria · 5th century

By the command of the law indeed the Passover was eaten with bitter herbs, because the bitterness of bondage still remained, but after the resurrection the food is sweetened with a honeycomb; as it follows, And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and a honeycomb.

Gregory the Great · 6th century

To convey therefore the truth of His resurrection, He condescends not only to be touched by His disciples, but to eat with them, that they might not suspect that His appearance was not actual, but only imaginary. Hence it follows, And when he had eaten before them, he took the remnant, and gave to them. He ate indeed by His power, not from necessity. The thirsty earth absorbs water in one way, the burning sun in another way, the one from want, the other from power.
