Context

Jesus Appears to the Disciples

⁴²So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,⁴³and He took it and ate it in front of them.

Summary

In Luke 24:43, Jesus appears to His disciples after His resurrection and eats a piece of broiled fish in their presence to prove that He is not a ghost but truly alive in His glorified body. This act demonstrates the reality of His resurrection and emphasizes the continuity between His pre-resurrection and post-resurrection existence. By eating with His disciples, Jesus also shows His care and concern for them, as well as His desire to strengthen their faith in His victory over death.
