Luke 24:27-51

²⁷And beginning from Moses, and then all the Prophets, He explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

²⁸Then they approached the village where they were going, and He made as though He would keep going.

²⁹But they constrained Him, saying, “Stay with us, because it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” So He went in to stay with them.

³⁰And then, as He was reclining with them, He took the bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.

³¹Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He became invisible to them.

³²They said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked to us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”

³³So they got up forthwith and returned to Jerusalem, where they found the Eleven gathered together; also those with them,

³⁴who said, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”

³⁵Then they described what happened on the road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

³⁶As they were saying these things, indeed, Jesus Himself stood in their midst, and He said to them, “Peace to you.”

³⁷But they, terrified, supposed they were seeing a ghost, and were becoming fearful.

³⁸And He said to them: “Why are you troubled?” and “Why do doubts arise in your hearts?

³⁹Look at my hands and feet; it is I myself! Feel me and see; a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

⁴⁰And saying this He showed them His hands and His feet.

⁴¹But as they were still disbelieving and marveling, because of the joy, He said to them, “Do you have any food here?”

⁴²So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish and some honeycomb.

⁴³And taking it He ate in their presence.

⁴⁴Then He said to them, “These are the words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything that is written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning me must be fulfilled.”

⁴⁵Then He opened their understanding so as to comprehend the Scriptures.

⁴⁶And He said to them: “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

⁴⁷and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

⁴⁸You are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹Take note, I am sending the Promise of my Father upon you; but you must stay in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on High.”

⁵⁰He led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up His hands He blessed them.

⁵¹And it happened, as He was blessing them, that He left them and was carried up into heaven.
