The messenger in Mark, who became an angel in Matthew, has now become two angels in Luke (Luke 24:4). The body of Christ has become unmistakably physical. Luke’s resurrected Jesus eats, he drinks, he walks, he talks and he interprets scripture (Luke 24:36–49). Yet he also seems to be able to materialize out of thin air and later to dematerialize into thin air (Luke 24:13–35).
