*
While they were yet speaking he stood among them and said , "
Peace be to you !"
*
They were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost .
*
And he said to them . "
Why are you disturbed ?
And why do questions rise in your hearts ?
* "
Look at my hands and my feet .
It is I !
Feel me and see ;
for a ghost has not flesh and blood as I have ."
*
Then he showed them his hands and feet .
*
But while they still did not believe it for joy ,
and were filled with wonder ,
he asked them , "
Have you anything here to eat ?"
*
So they gave him a piece of broiled fish ,
*
and he took it and ate it in their presence .
*
Then he said to them , "
These are my words which I spoke to you while I was still with you ,
how all things must be fulfilled which are written in the Law of Moses ,
and the prophets ,
and the Psalms concerning me ."
*
Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures ,
*
and he said . "
Thus it is written that the Christ should suffer and rise again from the dead ,
the third day ;
* "
and that repentance unto remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations ,
beginning from Jerusalem .
* "
You must bear testimony to this .
* "
And I will send forth the promise of my Father upon you .
But tarry in Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high ."
