Doctrine and Covenants D&C 129:2
"For instance, Jesus said: Handle me and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have."
New Testament Luke 24:39
"handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have."

Shared words: Handle me and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have

Divergences: punctuation only inside the shared run - 'handle me, and see' reads 'Handle me and see', with the revelation capitalizing at the start of its quotation. The gospel verse opens with 'Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself', which the revelation has no counterpart for. The revelation attributes the words to a named speaker, 'For instance, Jesus said', without naming a text. D&C 130:22 is already registered against Luke 24:39 on light-and-truth.md - a different verse pair - and is disclosed. Minted asserted_by: source at the 2026-08-10 editorial review.
