Luke 24:27–45

²⁷Then beginning ¹with ^aMoses and ²with all the ^bprophets, He interpreted to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

²⁸And they approached the village where they were going, and ^aHe acted as though He were going farther.

²⁹But they urged Him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening, and the day ¹is now nearly over.” So He went in to stay with them.

³⁰And it happened that when He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and ^ablessed it, and after breaking it, He was giving it to them.

³¹Then their ^aeyes were opened and they recognized Him. And He vanished from ¹their sight.

³²And they said to one another, “¹Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He ^awas opening the Scriptures to us?”

³³And they stood up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and ^afound gathered together the eleven and ^bthose with them,

³⁴who were saying, “^aThe Lord has really risen and ^bhas appeared to Simon.”

³⁵And they were relating ¹their experiences on the road and how ^aHe was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

Jesus Appears to His Disciples

³⁶Now while they were telling these things, ^aHe Himself stood in their midst and ^*said to them, “Peace to you.”

³⁷But being startled and frightened, they were thinking that they were seeing ^aa spirit.

³⁸And He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your ¹hearts?

³⁹“^aSee My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; ^btouch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”

⁴⁰And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

⁴¹And while they still ^awere not believing because of their joy and were still marveling, He said to them, “^bHave you anything here to eat?”

⁴²They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish,

⁴³and He took it and ^aate it before them.

⁴⁴Now He said to them, “^aThese are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the ^bLaw of Moses and the Prophets and ^cthe Psalms must be fulfilled.”

⁴⁵Then He ^aopened their ¹minds to understand the Scriptures,
