Luke 24:17-41

17Then He said to them, “What are these things you are discussing with one another as you are walking along?” They stood still, looking gloomy.

18Then the one named Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that happened there in these days?”

19Yeshua said to them, “What kind of things?” And they said to Him, “The things about Yeshua from Natzeret, who was a Prophet, powerful in deed and word before God and all the people—

20how the ruling kohanim and our leaders handed Him over to be sentenced to death, and they executed Him.

21But we were hoping that He was the One about to redeem Israel. Besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.

22“But also some women among us amazed us. Early in the morning they were at the tomb.

23When they didn’t find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said He is alive!

24Some of those with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women said, but they did not see Him.”

25Yeshua said to them, “Oh foolish ones, so slow of heart to put your trust in all that the prophets spoke!

26Was it not necessary for Messiah to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?”

27Then beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them the things written about Himself in all the Scriptures.

28They approached the village where they were going, and He acted as though He were going farther on.

29But they urged Him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is already gone.” So He went in to stay with them.

30And it happened that when He was reclining at the table with them, He took the matzah , offered a bracha and, breaking it, gave it to them.

31Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him, and He disappeared from them.

32They said to one another, “Didn’t our heart burn within us while He was speaking with us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?”

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

34saying, “The Lord is risen indeed! He has appeared to Simon!”

35Then they began telling about the events on the road and how He became recognized by them in the breaking of the matzah .

36While they were speaking of these things, Yeshua Himself stood in the midst of them and said, “Shalom Aleichem!”

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

38Then He said to them, “Why are you so shaken? And why do doubts arise in your heart?

39Look at My hands and My feet—it is I Myself! Touch Me and see! For a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

40And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

41But while they were still in disbelief due to joy and wonder, He said to them, “Do you have anything to eat here?”
