Luke 24:27-51

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

²⁸And they drew near to the village where they were going, and he made as though he would go farther.

²⁹And they constrained him, saying, Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is declining. And he entered in to stay with them.

³⁰And it came to pass as he was at table with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken it, gave it to them.

³¹And their eyes were opened, and they recognised him. And he disappeared from them.

³²And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning in us as he spoke to us on the way, and as he opened the scriptures to us?

³³And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven, and those with them, gathered together,

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

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

³⁶And as they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst, and says to them, Peace be unto you.

³⁷But they, being confounded and being frightened, supposed they beheld a spirit.

³⁸And he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why are thoughts rising in your hearts?

³⁹behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones as ye see me having.

⁴⁰And having said this he shewed them his hands and his feet.

⁴¹But while they yet did not believe for joy, and were wondering, he said to them, Have ye anything here to eat?

⁴²And they gave him part of a broiled fish and of a honeycomb;

⁴³and he took it and ate before them.

⁴⁴And he said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all that is written concerning me in the law of Moses and prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.

⁴⁵Then he opened their understanding to understand the scriptures,

⁴⁶and said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved the Christ to suffer, and to rise from among the dead the third day;

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

⁴⁸And ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but do ye remain in the city till ye be clothed with power from on high.

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

⁵¹And it came to pass as he was blessing them, he was separated from them and was carried up into heaven.
