Luke 24:36–51

³⁶And as they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst, and says to them, Peace be unto you. ³⁷But they, being confounded and being frightened, supposed they beheld a spirit. ³⁸And he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why are thoughts rising in your hearts? ³⁹behold 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. ⁴⁰And having said this he shewed them his hands and his feet. ⁴¹But while they yet did not believe for joy, and were wondering, he said to them, Have ye anything here to eat? ⁴²And they gave him part of a broiled fish and of a honeycomb; ⁴³and he took it and ate before them. ⁴⁴And 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. ⁴⁵Then he opened their understanding to understand the scriptures, ⁴⁶and 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; ⁴⁷and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations beginning at Jerusalem. ⁴⁸And ye are witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but do ye remain in the city till ye be clothed with power from on high.

⁵⁰And he led them out as far as Bethany, and having lifted up his hands, he blessed them. ⁵¹And it came to pass as he was blessing them, he was separated from them and was carried up into heaven.
