Luke 24:35–49

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,

⁴⁶and He said to them, “^aThus it is written, that the ¹Christ would suffer and ^brise again from the dead the third day,

⁴⁷and that ^arepentance ¹for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed ²in His name to ^ball the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

⁴⁸“You are ^awitnesses of these things.

⁴⁹“And behold, ^aI am sending the promise of My Father upon you, but ^byou are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
