Luke 24:36-52

³⁶Now whilst they were speaking these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them, and saith to them: Peace be to you; it is I, fear not.

³⁷But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit.

³⁸And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

³⁹See my hands and feet, that it is I myself; handle, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me to have.

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

⁴¹But while they yet believed not, and wondered for joy, he said: Have you any thing to eat?

⁴²And they offered him a piece of a broiled fish, and a honeycomb.

⁴³And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them.

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

⁴⁵Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.

⁴⁶And he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead, the third day:

⁴⁷And that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁸And you are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹And I send the promise of my Father upon you: but stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high.

⁵⁰And he led them out as far as Bethania: and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.

⁵¹And it came to pass, whilst he blessed them, he departed from them, and was carried up to heaven.

⁵²And they adoring went back into Jerusalem with great joy.
