Luke 24:31-51

31And then their 1eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from 2their sight. 32They said to one another, “3Were our hearts not burning within us when He was speaking to us on the road, while He 4was 5explaining the Scriptures to us?” 33And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and 6found the eleven gathered together and 7those who were with them, 34saying, “8The Lord has really risen and 9has appeared to Simon!” 35They began to relate 10their experiences on the road, and how 11He was recognized by them at the breaking of the bread.

36Now while they were telling these things, 12Jesus Himself suddenly stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be to you.” 37But they were startled and frightened, and thought that they were looking at 13a spirit. 38And He said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why are doubts arising in your 14hearts? 39 15See My hands and My feet, that 16it is I Myself; 17touch Me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you plainly see that I have.” 40And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. 41While they still 18 19could not believe it because of their joy and astonishment, He said to them, “20Have you anything here to eat?” 42They served Him a piece of broiled fish; 43and He took it and 21ate it in front of them.

44Now He said to them, “22These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all the things that are written about Me in the 23Law of Moses and the Prophets and 24the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45Then He 25opened their 26minds to understand the Scriptures, 46and He said to them, “27So it is written, that the 28Christ would suffer and 29rise from the dead on the third day, 47and that 30repentance 31for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed 32in His name to 33all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48You are 34witnesses of these things. 49And behold, 35I am sending the promise of My Father upon you; but 36you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”

50And He led them out as far as 37Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. 51While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven.
