Luke 24:27-44

27Then beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted for them the things concerning himself in all the Scriptures.

28They came near the village where they were going, and he gave the impression that he was going farther.

29But they urged him, “Stay with us, because it’s almost evening, and now the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.

30It was as he reclined at the table with them that he took the bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.

31Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, but he disappeared from their sight.

32They said to each other, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us while he was talking with us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us?”

33That very hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem. They found the Eleven and those with them gathered together,

34who said, “The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!”

35Then they began to describe what had happened on the road and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.

36As they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst. He said to them, “Peace to you!”

37But they were startled and terrified and thought they were seeing a ghost.

38“Why are you troubled?” he asked them. “And why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself! Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.”

40Having said this, he showed them his hands and feet.

41But while they still were amazed and in disbelief because of their joy, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42So they gave him a piece of a broiled fish,

43and he took it and ate in their presence.

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