John21:13

13 Jesus then cometh and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise .

Those who question whether our Saviour himself did eat, seem not to consider what is written, Acts 10.41. where it is expresly said, He did eat and drink with them after he rose from the dead; which he doubtless did, to shew that he was truly risen from the dead, and his seeming body was not a Phantasm, and meer Apparition of a body, but the same true body which was Crucified, tho now more glorious, and not clothed with those infirmities which it had before his death; from whence it onely followeth, that he did not eat to satisfie his hunger, but onely to confirm the truth of his Resurrection; he did before this eat with some of them, Luke 24.30.
