The passages you cite do not say that Jesus’ body is no longer human, or that it was glorified. In fact, Scripture makes pains to emphasize that the risen body of Jesus was the same body and still human, because Jesus’ resurrected body still bore His wounds and He ate with them.

Jesus looks like anything he wants to look like at any given time...He appears as a lamb, a lion, a frightening figure to the Apostle John, and in the OT Jesus showed up as an angel and took on the appearance of different men...

Mar 16:12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

1Jn 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

This ought to be clear to anyone that Jesus does not look like he did as his appearance in the flesh...

When we read before and after this passage, we understand that Jesus is speaking of His Ascension, not His resurrection. We know this because after His resurrection, He was seen and heard and touched.

Nope...Jesus was not touched before his ascension...

Joh 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

Please, point me to that in the OT.

The gospels say otherwise...

Luke 25:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

John 20:27Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
