rsv - Luke:24:36-49

rsv@Luke:24:36 @ But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit.

rsv@Luke:24:37 @ And he said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do questionings rise in your hearts?

rsv@Luke:24:38 @ See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have."

rsv@Luke:24:39 @ And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?"

rsv@Luke:24:40 @ They gave him a piece of broiled fish,

rsv@Luke:24:41 @ and he took it and ate before them.

rsv@Luke:24:42 @ Then he said to them, "These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled."

rsv@Luke:24:43 @ Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures,

rsv@Luke:24:44 @ and said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead,

rsv@Luke:24:45 @ and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

rsv@Luke:24:46 @ You are witnesses of these things.

rsv@Luke:24:47 @ And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city, until you are clothed with power from on high."

rsv@Luke:24:48 @ Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.

rsv@Luke:24:49 @ While he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.
