³⁵Then they told what had happened on the road and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread.

Jesus Appears to His Disciples

³⁶While they were talking about this, Jesus^q himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”^{r 37}They were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost.^{* 38}He said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? ³⁹Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see, for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”^{* 40}And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.^{s 41}Yet for all their joy they were still disbelieving and wondering, and he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?”^{* 42}They gave him a piece of broiled fish,^{t 43}and he took it and ate in their presence.^*

⁴⁴Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.”^{* 45}Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, ⁴⁶and he said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Messiah^u is^v to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day^{* 47}and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.^{* 48}You are witnesses^w of these things.^{* 49}And see, I am sending upon you what my Father promised, so stay here in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”^*
