Luke 24:27-51

²⁷And he made clear to them all the things in the Writings, from Moses and from all the prophets, which had to do with himself.

²⁸And they came near the town to which they were going, and he seemed as if he was going on;

²⁹But they kept him back, saying, Do not go, for evening is near, the day is almost gone. And he went in with them.

³⁰And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them.

³¹And then their eyes were open, and they had knowledge of him, but he went from their view.

³²And they said to one another, Were not our hearts burning in us while he was talking to us on the way, making clear to us the holy Writings?

³³And that very hour they got up and went back to Jerusalem, where the eleven and the others had come together.

³⁴And they said to them, The Lord has truly come back to life again, and Simon has seen him.

³⁵And they gave an account of the things which had taken place on the way, and how, when he gave them bread, they had knowledge of him.

³⁶And while they were saying these things, he himself was among them, and said to them, Peace be with you!

³⁷But they were full of fear, being of the opinion that they were seeing a spirit.

³⁸And he said to them, Why are you troubled, and why are your hearts full of doubt?

³⁹See; my hands and my feet: it is I myself; put your hands on me and make certain; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.

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

⁴¹And because, for joy and wonder, they were still in doubt, he said to them, Have you any food here?

⁴²And they gave him a bit of cooked fish.

⁴³And before their eyes he took a meal.

⁴⁴And he said to them, These are the words which I said to you when I was still with you, how it was necessary for all the things which are in the writings of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms about me, to be put into effect.

⁴⁵Then he made the holy Writings clear to their minds.

⁴⁶And he said to them, So it is in the Writings that the Christ would undergo death, and come back to life again on the third day;

⁴⁷And that teaching about a change of heart and forgiveness of sins is to be given to Jerusalem first and to all nations in his name.

⁴⁸You are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹And now I will send to you what my father has undertaken to give you, but do not go from the town, till the power from heaven comes to you.

⁵⁰And he took them out till they were near Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he gave them a blessing.

⁵¹And while he was doing so, he went from them and was taken up into heaven.
