Luke 24:33-53 ▼

33 And they, having risen up the same hour, turned back to Jerusalem, and found the Eleven gathered together, and those with them,

34 saying, “The Lord was indeed raised, and was seen by Simon”;

35 and they were expounding the things in the way, and how He was made known to them in the breaking of the bread,

36 and as they are speaking these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and says to them, “Peace to you”;

37 and being amazed, and becoming frightened, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit.

38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do reasonings come up in your hearts?

39 See My hands and My feet, that I am He; handle Me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see Me having.”

40 And having said this, He showed the hands and the feet to them,

41 and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, He said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42 And they gave to Him part of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb,

43 and having taken, He ate before them,

44 and He said to them, “These [are] the words that I spoke to you, being yet with you, that it is necessary to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about Me.”

45 Then He opened up their understanding to understand the Writings,

46 and He said to them, “Thus it has been written, and thus it was necessary [for] the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead [on] the third day,

47 and conversion and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in His Name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem:

48 and you are witnesses of these things.

49 And behold, I send the promise of My Father on you, but you—abide in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”

50 And He led them forth outside—to Bethany, and having lifted up His hands He blessed them,

51 and it came to pass, in His blessing them, He was parted from them, and was carried up into Heaven;

52 and they, having worshiped Him, turned back to Jerusalem with great joy,

53 and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
