Luke:24:36-49

*
While they were thus talking ,
He Himself stood in their midst and said , »
Peace be to you !«
*
Startled ,
and in the utmost alarm ,
they thought they were looking at a spirit ;
*
but He said to them , »
Why such alarm ?
And why are there such questionings in your minds ?
*
See my hands and my feet –
it is my very self .
Feel me and see ,
for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see I have .«
*
And then He showed them His hands and His feet .
*
But ,
while they still could not believe it for joy and were full of astonishment ,
He asked them , »
Have you any food here ?«
*
And they gave Him a piece of roasted fish ,
*
and He took it and ate it in their presence .
*
And He said to them , »
This is what I told you while I was still with you –
that everything must be fulfilled that is written in the Law of Moses and in 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 would suffer and on the third day rise again from among the dead ;
*
and that proclamation would be made ,
in His name ,
of repentance and forgiveness of sins to all the nations ,
beginning in Jerusalem .
*
You are witnesses as to these things .
*
And remember that I am about to send out my Father '
s promised gift to rest upon you .
But ,
as for you ,
wait patiently in the city until you are clothed with power from on high .«
