Luke 24:25-51

²⁵And he said to them, O dull of apprehension, and slow of heart to believe all that the Prophets have spoken!

²⁶Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things, and enter into his glory?

²⁷And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

²⁸And they drew near to the village whither they were going; and he made as though he would go further.

²⁹But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us, for it is towards evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to stay with them.

³⁰And it came to pass, as he was at table with them, that he took the bread, and blessed it, and broke and gave it to them.

³¹And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

³²And they said one to another, Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked with us on the way, while he opened to us the Scriptures?

³³And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,

³⁴saying, The Lord hath risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

³⁵And they told what had happened on the way, and how he became known to them in the breaking of the bread.

³⁶And while they were thus speaking, he himself stood in the midst of them.

³⁷But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit.

³⁸And he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

³⁹See 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.

⁴¹And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, Have ye anything here to eat?

⁴²And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.

⁴³And he took and ate it before them.

⁴⁴And he said to them, These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, concerning me.

⁴⁵Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures.

⁴⁶And he said to them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and should rise from the dead on the third day,

⁴⁷and that repentance for the remission of sins should be preached in his name among all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁸Ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹And I send forth upon you that which hath been promised by my Father; but do ye tarry in the city, until ye are endued with power from on high.

⁵⁰And he led them out as far as to Bethany; and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.

⁵¹And it came to pass, while he blessed them, that he parted from them.
