Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers Second Series Vol. 3
"So he calls Him The firstfruits of them that slept,' [1519] and The first born of the dead.' [1520] When He had risen and was wishful to show that what had risen was the same body which died, when the Apostles doubted, He called to Him Thomas and said Handle me and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye see me have.'" [1521]
