Luke 24:27-44

27Then beginning with Moses and [throughout] all the [writings of the] prophets, He explained and interpreted for them the things referring to Himself [found] in all the Scriptures.

28Then they approached the village where they were going, and He acted as if He were going farther.

29But they urged Him [not to go on], saying, “Stay with us, because it is almost evening, and the day has just about ended.” So He went inside to stay with them.

30And it happened that as He reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them.

31Then their eyes were [suddenly] opened [by God] and they [clearly] recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight.

32They said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He was talking with us on the road and opening the Scriptures to us?”

33They got up that very hour and went back to Jerusalem, and found the eleven [apostles] gathered together and those who were with them,

34saying, “The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon [Peter]!”

35They began describing in detail what had happened on the road, and how Jesus was recognized by them when He broke the bread.

36While they were talking about this, Jesus Himself [suddenly] stood among them and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

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

38And He said, “Why are you troubled, and why are doubts rising in your hearts?

39Look at [the marks in] My hands and My feet, [and see] that it is I Myself. Touch Me and see; a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”

40After saying this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

41While they still did not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42They gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

43and He took it and ate it in front of them.

44Then He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you, everything which has been written about Me in the Law of Moses and the [writings of the] Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”
