Luke:24:36-49
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And as they thus spake ,
Jesus himself stood in the midst of them ,
and saith unto them ,
Peace be unto you .
*
But they were terrified and affrighted ,
and supposed that they had seen a spirit .
*
And he said unto them ,
Why are ye troubled ?
and why do thoughts arise in your hearts ?
*
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 .
*
And when he had thus spoken ,
he shewed them his hands and his feet .
*
And while they yet believed not for joy ,
and wondered ,
he said unto them ,
Have ye here any meat ?
*
And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish ,
and of an honeycomb .
*
And he took it ,
and did eat before them .
*
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 .
*
Then opened he their understanding ,
that they might understand the scriptures ,
*
And said unto them ,
Thus it is written ,
and thus it behoved 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 among all nations ,
beginning at Jerusalem .
*
And ye are witnesses of these things .
*
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 .
