Luke 24:36-49

Other Appearances

36 While they were telling these things, ¹He Himself stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be to you."

37 But they were startled and frightened and thought that they were seeing ²a spirit.

38 And He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why * do doubts arise in your hearts?

39 "³See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; ⁴touch Me and see, for a spirit 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 While they still ⁵could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He said to them, "⁶Have you anything here to eat?"

42 They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish;

43 and He took it and ⁷ate it before them.

44 Now He said to them, "⁸These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the ⁹Law of Moses and the Prophets and ¹⁰the Psalms must be fulfilled."

45 Then He ¹¹opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,

46 and He said to them, "¹²Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and ¹³rise again from the dead the third day,

47 and that ¹⁴repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to ¹⁵all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

48 "You are ¹⁶witnesses of these things.

49 "And behold, ¹⁷I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but ¹⁸you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."
