Luke 24:31-40

31Their eyes became clear and they recognized him. But then he disappeared, and they could no longer see him.

32They said to each other, ‘When he talked to us, it was like a fire that was burning inside us. We felt it while we were walking along the road. We also felt it when he was explaining God's message in the Bible.’

33Immediately they got up and they returned to Jerusalem. There they found the 11 apostles and other people who were with them.

34The people there told the two disciples, ‘It is true! The Lord Jesus is alive again. He has appeared to Simon!’

35Then the two disciples spoke to the whole group. They told what had happened to them on the road to their village. They told how they recognized Jesus when he broke the bread into pieces in their home.

36While they were still speaking like that, Jesus himself stood among them. He said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’

37But the whole group was very surprised and afraid. They thought that they were seeing a spirit.

38Jesus said to them, ‘You should not be so afraid. You seem to have trouble in your minds about what you are seeing.

39Now look at my hands and my feet. It is really me! Touch me. Then you will know that I am not a spirit. A spirit does not have a body with skin and bones. You can see that I have a real body.’

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