Question 235: Moshiach’s garments – where did He get those which He wore when He appeared to Mary on the resurrection morning?

Answer:

It is one of the most asked questions, but never satisfactorily answered. We must conclude, in the absence of any Scriptural statement about the garments that they belonged to that strange mysterious life on which Moshiach entered when He rose from the dead. That they were not of the ordinary materials seems clear from the Gospel narratives, which represent Moshiach as "vanishing out of their sight" (Luke 24:31), appearing among His disciples in a room the doors of which were shut (John 20:19) and being seen now at Jerusalem, now at Emmaus and in Galilee, at least forty miles distant. Whatever the garments were and wherever they came from, they were clearly not of the substantial kind, which would have prevented these disappearances.
