OET interlinear LUKE 24:39

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἴδετε τὰς χεῖράς μου καὶ τοὺς πόδας μου

see the hands ˱of˲_me and the feet ˱of˲_me

Jesus is telling the disciples to look at the nail marks from crucifixion by reference to where those marks are, in his hands and feet. Alternate translation: “Look at the nail marks in my hands and feet”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι αὐτός

that I am he

Jesus uses the word myself to emphasize that he genuinely is who he appears to be. Alternate translation: “and you will recognize that it is really me”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ψηλαφήσατέ με καὶ ἴδετε, ὅτι πνεῦμα σάρκα καὶ ὀστέα οὐκ ἔχει, καθὼς ἐμὲ θεωρεῖτε ἔχοντα

touch me and see because /a/_spirit flesh and bones not /is/_having as me ˱you_all˲_/are/_observing having

If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “Since a ghost does not have a physical body, as you see that I have, touch me to determine that my body is real”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

καὶ ἴδετε

and and see

Here, see does not literally mean to look at something. Rather, it means to determine something. Alternate translation: “to determine”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

σάρκα καὶ ὀστέα

flesh and bones

Jesus is describing the human body by referring to two of its major components. Alternate translation: “a physical body”
