Tertullian

“ Wishing, therefore, to be believed by them in this wise, He declared Himself to be just what they had deemed Him to be—the Creator’s Christ, the Redeemer of Israel. But as touching the reality of His body, what can be plainer? When they were doubting whether He were not a phantom—nay, were supposing that He was one—He says to them, “Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? See [16] my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; for a spirit hath not bones, as ye see me have.” ”

“ We have set forth Jesus Christ as none other than the Christ of the Creator. Our proofs we have drawn from His doctrines, maxims, [22] affections, feelings, miracles, sufferings, and even resurrection—as foretold by the prophets. [23] Even to the last He taught us (the same truth of His mission) , when He sent forth His apostles to preach His gospel “among all nations;” ”

“ Thus, in the passage before us, he would have the words, “A spirit hath not bones, as ye see me have,” so transposed, as to mean, “A spirit, such as ye see me to be, hath not bones;” that is to say, it is not the nature of a spirit to have bones. ”
