Q&A — Luke 23:43 and John 20:17: Jesus eating post-resurrection and 'do not cling to me'

Responding to Catholic Apologists on Purgatory 00:56:01 – 00:57:04

Viewer asks about the relationship between two post-resurrection passages

Luke 23:43 (Jesus eating with disciples): Mike interprets this as Jesus proving he had a physical, not spiritual, resurrection body. John 20:17 ('do not cling to me'): not 'don't touch me' but 'don't hold on — I still have more to do, including ascending to the Father.' Mary's impulse is understandable — she thought he was gone forever. The point is not about the nature of his body but about the ongoing work he had to complete.
