Gregory of Nyssa · c. A.D. 335–395
Luke 24:41 · Douay-Rheims
“But while they yet believed not, and wondered for joy, he said: Have you any thing to eat?”
On this verse:
“(Orat. 1. de Res.) By the command of the law indeed the Passover was eaten with bitter herbs, because the bitterness of bondage still remained, but after the resurrection the food is sweetened with a honeycomb; as it follows, And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and a honeycomb.”
