For I know and believe that he was in the[*](The Resurrection in the flesh) flesh even after the Resurrection.

And when he came to those with Peter he said to them: Take, handle me and see that I am not a phantom without a body. And they immediately touched him and believed, being mingled both with his flesh and spirit. Therefore they despised even death, and were proved to be above death.

And after his Resurrection he ate and drank with them as a being of flesh, although he was united in spirit to the Father.
