Luke 24:33-53 ▼

33 And having risen the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those with them.

34 Saying, That truly the Lord was risen, and was seen to Simon.

35 And they recounted the things in the way, and how he was known to them in the breaking of bread.

36 And they speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and he says to them, Peace to you.

37 And they, struck with awe and being afraid, thought to see a spirit.

38 And he said to them, Why have ye been troubled? and wherefore do reflections come up in your hearts?

39 See my hands and my feet, for I am he; feel, and see: for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as ye see me having.

40 And having said this, he showed them hands and feet.

41 And yet they not believing from joy, and wondering, he said to them, Have ye any food here?

42 And they bestowed upon him part of a broiled fish, and of an honey comb.

43 And having taken, he ate before them.

44 And he said to them, These the words which I spake to you, being yet with you, for all things must be completed, written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me.

45 Then opened he their understanding, to understand the writings,

46 And he said to them, That so has it been written, and so was it necessary for Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

47 And repentance and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, having begun from Jerusalem.

48 And ye are witnesses of these things.

49 And, behold, I send the solemn promise of my Father upon you: and do ye sit in the city of Jerusalem, till ye be clothed with power from on high.

50 And he led them without, even to Bethany, and having lifted up his hands, he praised them.

51 And it was in his praising them, he was separated from them, and carried into heaven.

52 And they having worshipped him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy.

53 And they were always in the temple, praising and extolling God. Amen.
