²⁸The two men approached the village where they were going. Jesus acted as if he were going farther. ²⁹But they tried hard to keep him from leaving. They said, “Stay with us. It is nearly evening. The day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.

³⁰He joined them at the table. Then he took bread and gave thanks. He broke it and began to give it to them. ³¹Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. But then he disappeared from their sight.

³²They said to each other, “He talked with us on the road. He opened the Scriptures to us. Weren’t our hearts burning inside us during that time?”

³³They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them. They were all gathered together. ³⁴They were saying, “It’s true! The Lord has risen! He has appeared to Simon!”

³⁵Then the two of them told what had happened to them on the way. They told how they had recognized Jesus when he broke the bread.

Jesus Appears to the Disciples

³⁶The disciples were still talking about this when Jesus himself suddenly stood among them. He said, “May peace be with you!”

³⁷They were surprised and terrified. They thought they were seeing a ghost.

³⁸Jesus said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do you have doubts in your minds? ³⁹Look at my hands and my feet. It is really I! Touch me and see. A ghost does not have a body or bones. But you can see that I do.”

⁴⁰After he said that, he showed them his hands and feet. ⁴¹But they still did not believe it. They were amazed and filled with joy.

So Jesus asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

⁴²They gave him a piece of cooked fish. ⁴³He took it and ate it in front of them.

⁴⁴Jesus said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you. Everything written about me must happen. Everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms must come true.”

⁴⁵Then he opened their minds so they could understand the 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.”
