Again Christ sayeth:1 It is necessary for you that I go away. Mark that he sayeth: that I go away. But if he were here still, it were not necessary that we should not see him, but rather comfortable that we might see him. For he (as often as his disciples were amazed and astonied at the beholding of him) showed himself plainly and openly to them. And lest other their senses or their thoughts should suffer any suspicion.2 He sayeth unto them: See my hands & my feet: for it is even I my self. Touch me, and handle me.
