Luke 24:40-50

40 He said this and showed them his hands and his feet.
41 They still could not believe, they were so full of joy and wonder; so he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"
42 They gave him a piece of cooked fish,
43 which he took and ate in their presence.
44 Then he said to them, "These are the very things I told you about while I was still with you: everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the writings of the prophets, and the Psalms had to come true."
45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
46 and said to them, "This is what is written: the Messiah must suffer and must rise from death three days later,
47 and in his name the message about repentance and the forgiveness of sins must be preached to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
49 And I myself will send upon you what my Father has promised. But you must wait in the city until the power from above comes down upon you." 1
50 Then he led them out of the city as far as Bethany, where he raised his hands and blessed them. 2
