Luke 24:36-45

36While they were talking about what had happened, Jesus stood among them. He said to them, “Peace be with you!”

37They were terrified, and thought they were seeing a ghost.

38He asked them, “Why are you afraid? Why do you have doubts?

39Look at my hands and feet, and see that it’s really me. Touch me, and see for yourselves. Ghosts don’t have flesh and bones, but you can see that I do.”

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

41The disciples were overcome with joy and amazement because this seemed too good to be true. Then Jesus asked them, “Do you have anything to eat?”

42They gave him a piece of broiled fish.

43He took it and ate it while they watched him.

44Then he said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you. I told you that everything written about me in Moses’ Teachings, the Prophets, and the Psalms had to come true.”

45Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.
