Luke 24:36-45

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.

41This was such good news, they were very happy. But they could still not really believe it. So he asked them, ‘Do you have anything that I could eat?’

42They gave him a piece of fish that they had cooked.

43While they were watching, he took it and he ate it.

44Then he said to them, ‘I told you about these things while I was still with you. Everything that God's servants wrote about me in the Bible had to happen. Moses wrote about me in his book of God's Law. The prophets also wrote about me. The book called Psalms also tells about me. And now it has become true.’

45Then he helped them to understand God's message in the Bible.
