Study note
Setting — Jesus performs this action in front of His disciples immediately after they hand Him a piece of broiled fish, following His resurrection.
The words — λαβὼν (labōn) means "having taken," and ἔφαγεν (ephagen) means "He ate," emphasizing the physical sequence of the meal.
The thread — This post-resurrection meal parallels the witness account in Acts 10:41, where believers ate and drank with Him after He rose.
Why it lands — The text demands recognition of the physical reality of the event, requiring the reader to accept the resurrection as a historical occurrence rather than a spiritual abstraction.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.

And he took it, and did eat before them.
Cross-references
- Acts 10:41 not by all the people, but by the witnesses God had chosen beforehand, by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.
