Luke 24:36-49

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.”

45Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46He also said to them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead the third day,

47and repentance for forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

48You are witnesses of these things.

49And look, I am sending you what my Father promised. As for you, stay in the city until you are empowered from on high.”
