The Greek adjective brōsimos (βρώσιμος) means eatable or fit for eating. It is derived from brōsis (G1035, eating/food) and bibrōskō (G977, to eat). The word appears only once in the New Testament (Luke 24:41), in the resurrection appearance of Jesus to His disciples, when He asked if they had "any food to eat" — demonstrating the physical reality of His resurrection body.
The single appearance of brōsimos in Luke 24:41 is strategically important in resurrection theology. After the disciples saw the risen Jesus, they were still in disbelief and amazement, so Jesus asked: "Do you have anything here to eat?" He ate broiled fish before them — a deliberate, undeniable proof of bodily resurrection. The risen Christ eating food is not merely a curiosity; it establishes that the resurrection body is physical, tangible, and real. Christian hope is not for a bodiless spiritual existence but for a glorified, physical resurrection — the redemption of the whole person, embodied and eternal.
