Luke 24:35–48

³⁵Then the two disciples told what had happened on the road and how they had recognized Jesus when he broke the bread. 

Jesus Appears to the Apostles—John 20:19–23

³⁶While they were talking about what had happened, Jesus stood among them. He said to them, “Peace be with you!” ³⁷They were terrified, and thought they were seeing a ghost. 

³⁸He asked them, “Why are you afraid? Why do you have doubts? ³⁹Look at my hands and feet, and see that it’s really me. Touch me, and see for yourselves. Ghosts don’t have flesh and bones, but you can see that I do.” ⁴⁰As he said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 

⁴¹The disciples were overcome with joy and amazement because this seemed too good to be true. Then Jesus asked them, “Do you have anything to eat?” ⁴²They gave him a piece of broiled fish. ⁴³He took it and ate it while they watched him. 

⁴⁴Then he said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you. I told you that everything written about me in Moses’ Teachings, the Prophets, and the Psalms had to come true.” ⁴⁵Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. ⁴⁶He said to them, “Scripture says that the Messiah would suffer and that he would come back to life on the third day. ⁴⁷Scripture also says that by the authority of Jesus people would be told to turn to God and change the way they think and act so that their sins will be forgiven. This would be told to people from all nations, beginning in the city of Jerusalem. ⁴⁸You are witnesses to these things.
