Luke:24:36-49

*
As they said these things ,
Jesus himself stood among them ,
and said to them , "
Peace be to you ."
*
But they were terrified and filled with fear ,
and supposed that they had seen a spirit .
*
He said to them , "
Why are you troubled ?
Why do doubts arise in your hearts ?
*
See my hands and my feet ,
that it is truly me .
Touch me and see ,
for a spirit doesn '
t have flesh and bones ,
as you see that I have ."
*
When he had said this ,
he showed them his hands and his feet .
*
While they still didn '
t believe for joy ,
and wondered ,
he said to them , "
Do you have anything here to eat ?"
*
They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb .
*
He took them ,
and ate in front of them .
*
He said to them , "
This is what I told you ,
while I was still with you ,
that all things which are written in the law of Moses ,
the prophets ,
and the psalms ,
concerning me must be fulfilled ."
*
Then he opened their minds ,
that they might understand the Scriptures .
*
He said to them , "
Thus it is written ,
and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day ,
*
and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations ,
beginning at Jerusalem .
*
You are witnesses of these things .
*
Behold ,
I send forth the promise of my Father on you .
But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high ."
