33 And they arose the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven, and those who were with them, assembled, 34 and saying: The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon. 35 And they told what had taken place on the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread. 36 And while they were speaking of these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them: Peace be to you. 37 But they were terrified and frightened, and thought that they saw a spirit. 38 And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me have. 40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41 And while they did not believe as yet for joy, and were astonished, he said to them: Have you any thing here to eat? 42 And they gave him a piece of broiled fish, and of a honey comb. 43 And he took it, and did eat before them. 44 And he said to them: These are the words that I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled that are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. 45 Then he opened their mind, that they might understand the scriptures, 46 and he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus was it necessary that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you. But do you remain in the city of Jerusalem, till you be clothed with power from on high. Luke 24:33-49, Anderson New Testament. Public domain.
