Luke 24:39-53 ▼

39 Beholde my handes and my feete, that it is euen I my selfe: Handle me and see, for a spirite hath not fleshe and bones, as ye see me haue.

40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his handes and his feete.

41 And whyle they yet beleued not for ioy, and wondred, he sayde vnto them: Haue ye heare any meate?

42 And they offered him a peece of a broyled fishe, and of an hony combe.

43 And he toke it, and dyd eate before them.

44 And he sayde vnto them: These are the wordes which I spake vnto you, whyle I was yet with you, that all must needes be fulfylled, which were written of me in the law of Moyses, and in the prophetes, and in the psalmes.

45 Then opened he their wittes, that they myght vnderstande the scriptures.

46 And sayde vnto them: Thus is it written, and thus it behoued Christe to suffer, and to rise agayne from death the thirde day:

47 And that repentaunce and remission of sinnes shoulde be preached in his name among all nations, and must begyn at Hierusalem.

48 And ye are witnesses of these thynges.

49 And beholde I wyll sende the promise of my father vpon you: But tary ye in the citie of Hierusalem, vntyll ye be endued with power from an hye.

50 And he led them out into Bethanie, and lift vp his handes, & blessed them.

51 And it came to passe, as he blessed them, he departed from them, and was caryed vp into heauen.

52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Hierusalem with great ioy,

53 And were continually in the temple, praysyng and laudyng God. Amen.
