25  And he said to them, O senseless and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26  Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory? 27  And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. 28  And they drew near to the village where they were going, and he made as though he would go farther. 29  And they constrained him, saying, Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is declining. And he entered in to stay with them. 30  And it came to pass as he was at table with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken it, gave it to them. 31  And their eyes were opened, and they recognised him. And he disappeared from them. 32  And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning in us as he spoke to us on the way, and as he opened the scriptures to us? 33  And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven, and those with them, gathered together, 34  saying, The Lord is indeed risen and has appeared to Simon. 35  And they related what had happened on the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread.

36  And as they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst, and says to them, Peace be unto you. 37  But they, being confounded and being frightened, supposed they beheld a spirit. 38  And he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why are thoughts rising in your hearts? 39  behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones as ye see me having. 40  And having said this he shewed them his hands and his feet. 41  But while they yet did not believe for joy, and were wondering, he said to them, Have ye anything here to eat? 42  And they gave him part of a broiled fish and of a honeycomb; 43  and he took it and ate before them. 44  And he said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all that is written concerning me in the law of Moses and prophets and psalms must be fulfilled. 45  Then he opened their understanding to understand the scriptures, 46  and said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved the Christ to suffer, and to rise from among the dead the third day; 47  and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations beginning at Jerusalem.
