Christ's words are, "Handle me, and see that it is myself, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye see me having." And he said unto them, "Children, have ye anything to eat?" And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and he took it and did eat before them. The word spirit is used in many different meanings. It is used for ghost, or for the soul, but really it means the essence which is the opposite pole to substance.
