*
As they were saying this ,
Jesus himself stood among them and said to them , »
Peace be with you .«
*
But they were startled and frightened ,
and supposed that they saw a spirit .
*
And he said to them , »
Why are you troubled ,
and why do doubts rise in your hearts ?
*
See my hands and my feet ,
that it is I myself .
Handle me and see ,
for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have .«
*
When he had said this ,
he showed them his hands and his feet .
*
And while they still did not believe for joy ,
and marveled ,
he said to them , »
Have you anything here to eat ?«
*
They gave him a piece of broiled fish ,
*
and he took it and ate in their presence .
*
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 .«
*
Then he opened their minds ,
so they could understand the Scriptures .
*
And he said to them , »
Thus it is written ,
that the Christ should suffer and rise again from the dead the third day ,
*
and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations ,
beginning at Jerusalem .
*
You are witnesses of these things .
*
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 .«
