²⁸They came near the village where they were going, and He gave the impression that He was going farther. ^r²⁹But they urged Him: “Stay with us, because it’s almost evening, and now the day is almost over.” So He went in to stay with them.

³⁰It was as He reclined at the table with them that He took the bread, blessed and broke ^sit, and gave it to them. ³¹Then their eyes were opened, ^tand they recognized Him, but He disappeared from their sight. ^u³²So they said to each other, “Weren’t our hearts ablaze within us while He was talking with us on the road and explaining the Scriptures ^vto us?” ³³That very hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem. They found the Eleven ^wand those with them gathered together, ³⁴who said, ^x“The Lord has certainly been raised, and has appeared to Simon!” ^y³⁵Then they began to describe what had happened on the road and how He was made known to them in the breaking of the bread. ^z

The Reality of the Risen Jesus

³⁶And ^aas they were saying these things, He Himself stood among them. He said to them, “Peace ^bto you!” ³⁷But they were startled and terrified ^cand thought they were seeing a ghost. ^d³⁸“Why are you troubled?” ^eHe asked them. “And why do doubts arise in your hearts? ³⁹Look at My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself! ^fTouch Me and see, ^gbecause a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.” ⁴⁰Having said this, He showed them His hands and feet. ⁴¹But while they still were amazed and unbelieving because of their joy, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” ⁴²So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish, ^h⁴³and He took it and ate in their presence.

⁴⁴Then He told them, “These are My words ⁱthat I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, ^jand the Psalms ^kmust be fulfilled.” ⁴⁵Then He opened their minds ^lto understand ^mthe Scriptures.

Read in Logos

Luke 24:38–39: And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”
