Luke 24:27-41

²⁷Then, beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them all through the scriptures the passages that referred to himself.

²⁸When they got near the village to which they were walking, Jesus appeared to be going further;

²⁹but they pressed him not to do so. “Stay with us,” they said, “for it is getting towards evening, and the sun in already low.” So Jesus went in to stay with them.

³⁰After he had taken his place at the table with them, he took the bread and said the blessing, and broke it, and gave it to them.

³¹Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him; but he disappeared from their sight.

³²“How our hearts glowed,” the disciples said to each other, “while he was talking to us on the road, and when he explained the scriptures to us!”

³³Then they immediately got up and returned to Jerusalem, where they found the Eleven and their companions all together,

³⁴who told them that the Master had really risen, and had appeared to Simon.

³⁵So they also related what had happened during their walk, and how they had recognized Jesus at the breaking of the bread.

³⁶While they were still talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them.

³⁷In their terror and alarm they thought they saw a ghost,

³⁸but Jesus said to them, “Why are you so startled? And why do doubts arise in your minds?

³⁹Look at my hands and my feet, and you will know that it is I. Feel me, and look at me, for a ghost has not flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”

⁴¹While they were still unable to believe it all, overcome with joy, and were wondering if it were true, Jesus said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?”
