LUKE 24:25-51

²⁵And he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

²⁶Behoved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?

²⁷And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

²⁸And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further.

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

³⁰And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

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

³²And they said one to another, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?

³³And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

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

³⁵And they rehearsed the things that happened in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread.

³⁶And as they spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

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

³⁸And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings arise in your heart?

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 behold me having.

⁴⁰And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

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

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

⁴³And he took it, and did eat before them.

⁴⁴And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, how that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me.

⁴⁵Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures;

⁴⁶and he said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day;

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

⁴⁸Ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.

⁵⁰And he led them out until they were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

⁵¹And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.
