“Among the fundamental doctrinal truths contained in [this] passage, we find that a spirit has the appearance of flesh and blood even though it is spirit material. We know from Doctrine and Covenants 129 that if the brother of Jared had tried to touch the finger of the Lord he could not have felt it, since mortals cannot physically feel a spirit body” (Matthews, “Mission of Jesus Christ,” 23; see also D&C 88:68).
