{Showed} (edeixen). First aorist active indicative of
deiknumi. This body, not yet glorified, retained the marks of
the nails and of the soldier's spear, ample proof of the bodily
resurrection against the modern view that only Christ's "spirit"
arose and against the Docetic notion that Jesus had no actual
human body. Luke ( Lu 24:39f. ) adds feet to hands and side.
{Were glad} (echar(8873)an). Second aorist passive indicative of
chair(935c). Jesus had said ( 16:22 ) that it would be so. Luke adds
( Lu 24:41 ) that they "disbelieved for joy." It was too good to
be true, though terror had first seized them when Jesus appeared
( Lu 24:37 ) because of the suddenness of Christ's appearance and
their highly wrought state.
