Context: The Greek word βρῶσιμος is an adjective that appears in the New Testament to describe food that is suitable for consumption. It is used in a context that emphasizes the distinction between what is permissible to eat and what is not, often in relation to dietary laws or practices. In the Berean Standard Bible, βρῶσιμος is found in the following passage:

• Luke 24:41: "And while they still could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, 'Do you have anything here to eat?'"

In this passage, the resurrected Jesus asks His disciples if they have anything edible, highlighting the physical reality of His resurrection body. The use of βρῶσιμος underscores the tangible nature of the food He requests, affirming His bodily resurrection and the continuity of His physical existence post-resurrection.

The concept of βρῶσιμος also ties into broader biblical themes of provision and sustenance, where God provides what is necessary and suitable for His people. The term invites reflection on the nature of God's provision, both in physical sustenance and spiritual nourishment.
