Luke 24:39-53

391See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; 2touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” 40And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. 41While they still 34could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He said to them, “5Have you anything here to eat?” 42They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish; 43and He took it and 6ate it before them.

44Now He said to them, “7These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the 8Law of Moses and the Prophets and 9the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45Then He 10opened their 11minds to understand the Scriptures, 46and He said to them, “12Thus it is written, that the 13Christ would suffer and 14rise again from the dead the third day, 47and that 15repentance 16for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed 17in His name to 18all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48You are 19witnesses of these things. 49And behold, 20I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but 21you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”

50And He led them out as far as 22Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. 51While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven. 52And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53and were continually in the temple 23praising God.
