Luke 24:31-41

31 Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him, but He disappeared from their sight.
32 So 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 to us?"
33 That very hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem. They found the Eleven and those with them gathered together,
34 who said,[a] "The Lord has certainly been raised, and has appeared to Simon!"
35 Then they began to describe what had happened on the road and how He was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.

The Reality of the Risen Jesus

36 And as they were saying these things, He Himself stood among them. He said to them, "Peace to you!"
37 But they were startled and terrified and thought they were seeing a ghost.
38 "Why are you troubled?" He asked them. "And why do doubts arise in your hearts?
39 Look at My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself! Touch Me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have."
40 Having said this, He showed them His hands and feet.
41 But while they still could not believe[b] because of [their] joy and were amazed, He asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"
