Luke 24:36-43

Jesus Appears to His Disciples

36 And [while] they were saying these [things], he himself stood there among them.

37 But they were startled and became terrified, [and] thought [they] had seen a ghost.

38 And he said to them, "Why are you frightened? And for what [reason] do doubts arise in your hearts?

39 Look at my hands and my feet, that I am I myself! Touch me and see, because 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.

41 And [while] they were still disbelieving because of joy and were marveling, he said to them, "Do you have anything {to eat} here?"

42 So they gave him a piece of broiled fish,

43 and he took [it] [and] ate [it] in front of them.
