Luke 24:36-48

Jesus Appears to His Disciples

36 As they were talking about these things, ¹Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you! ”

37 But they were ²startled and ³frightened and ⁴thought they saw a spirit.

38 And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. ⁵Touch 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, ⁶he showed them his hands and his feet.

41 And while they still disbelieved ⁷for joy and were marveling, ⁸he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat? ”

42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, ^[a]

43 and he took it and ate before them.

44 Then he said to them, ⁹“These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, ¹⁰that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled. ”

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

46 and said to them, “Thus ¹²it is written, ¹³that the Christ should suffer and on the third day ¹⁴rise from the dead,

47 and that ¹⁵repentance and^[b] forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed ¹⁶in his name ¹⁷to all nations, ¹⁸beginning from Jerusalem.

48 ¹⁹You are witnesses of these things.
