Exegesis
eis tēn pleuran autou {ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ... εἰς τὸν τύπον τῶν ἥλων... εἰς τὴν πλευρὰν αὐτοῦ | en taîs kher-sìn au-toû... eis tón tú-pon tôn hḗ-lōn... eis tḕn pleu-rán au-toû} narrows the focus from seeing to touching and from the hands to the side, so the issue becomes physical verification of the crucifixion wounds.
