Luke 24:36 ¶ And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in
the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37 But they were
terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto
them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 Behold my hands
and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not
flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40 And when he had
thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41 And while they
yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any
meat?
42 And they gave him
a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43 And he took it,
and did eat before them.
44 And he said unto
them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you,
that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and
in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he
their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto
them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise
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 And ye are
witnesses of these things.
49 And, behold, I
send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem,
until ye be endued with power from on high.
50 ¶ And he led them
out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
51 And it came to
pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into
heaven.
52 And they
worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
53 And were
continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
