Luke 24:33-48

33So they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. They found the eleven and those with them gathered together

34and saying, “The Lord has really risen, and has appeared to Simon!”

35Then they told what had happened on the road, and how they recognized him when he broke the bread.

36While they were saying these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

37But they were startled and terrified, thinking they saw a ghost.

38Then he said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39Look at my hands and my feet; it’s me! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones like you see I have.”

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

41And while they still could not believe it (because of their joy) and were amazed, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42So they gave him a piece of broiled fish,

43and he took it and ate it in front of them.

44Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled.”

45Then he opened their minds so they could understand the scriptures,

46and said to them, “Thus it stands written that the Christ would suffer and would rise from the dead on the third day,

47and repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

48You are witnesses of these things.
