Luke 24:36-52 in English

³⁶ And as they spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

³⁷ But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit.

³⁸ And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do questionings arise in your heart?

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

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

⁴¹ And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat?

⁴² And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.

⁴³ And he took it, and ate before them.

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

⁴⁵ Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures;

⁴⁶ and he said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day;

⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

⁴⁸ Ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.

⁵⁰ And he led them out until they were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

⁵¹ And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.

⁵² And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

³⁶ And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

³⁷ But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

³⁸ And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

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

⁴⁰ And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

⁴¹ And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

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

⁴³ And he took it, and did eat before them.

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

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

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

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

⁴⁸ And ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

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

⁵¹ And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

⁵² And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

³⁶ And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

³⁷ But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

³⁸ And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

⁴³ And he took it, and did eat before them.

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

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

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

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

⁴⁸ And ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

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

⁵¹ And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

⁵² And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

³⁶ And as they spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

³⁷ But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit.

³⁸ And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings arise in your heart?

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

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

⁴¹ And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat?

⁴² And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.

⁴³ And he took it, and did eat before them.

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

⁴⁵ Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures;

⁴⁶ and he said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day;

⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

⁴⁸ Ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.

⁵⁰ And he led them out until they were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

⁵¹ And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.

⁵² And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

³⁶ As they were saying that, Jesus himself suddenly appeared among them. He said to them, “ May God give you inner peace!”

³⁷ They were startled and afraid, because they thought that they were seeing a ghost!

³⁸ He said to them, “◄You should not be alarmed!/Why are you alarmed?► RHQ And ◄you should not be doubting that I am alive/Jesus!/why are you doubting that I am alive/Jesus?► RHQ

³⁹ Look at the wounds in my hands and my feet! You can touch me and see my body. Then you can see that it is really I myself. You can tell that I am really alive because ghosts do not have bodies, as you see that I have!”

⁴⁰ After he said that, he showed them the wounds in his hands and his feet.

⁴¹ They were joyful and amazed, but they still did not believe that he was really alive (OR, that Jesus was the one that they were seeing). So he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

⁴² So they gave him a piece of broiled fish.

⁴³ While they were watching, he took it and ate it.

⁴⁴ Then he said to them, “ I will repeat what I told you while I was still with you: Everything that was written about me by Moses and the other prophets MTY and in the Psalms must be fulfilled!”

⁴⁵ Then he enabled them to understand the things that had been written about him in the Scriptures.

⁴⁶ He said to them, “This is what they wrote: That the Messiah would suffer and die, but on the third day after that he would become alive again.

⁴⁷ They also wrote that the message must be preached { that his disciples must preach the message} everywhere that people must turn from their sinful ways for God to forgive their sins. They wrote that his followers should preach that message, claiming his authority MTY. They wrote that they should start preaching it in Jerusalem, and then go and preach it to all ethnic groups.

⁴⁸ You apostles must tell people that you know that those things that happened to me are true.

⁴⁹ And I want you to know that I will send the Holy Spirit MTY to you, as my Father promised that he would do. But you must stay in this city until God fills you with the power of his Spirit.”

⁵⁰ Then Jesus led them outside the city until they came near Bethany village. There he lifted up his hands and blessed them.

⁵¹ As he was doing that, he left them and went up to heaven.

⁵² They worshipped him. And then they returned to Jerusalem very joyfully.

³⁶ As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

³⁷ But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

³⁸ He said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?

³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”

⁴⁰ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

⁴¹ While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

⁴² They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.

⁴³ He took them, and ate in front of them.

⁴⁴ He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms concerning me must be fulfilled.”

⁴⁵ Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.

⁴⁶ 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,

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

⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ Behold, I send out the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”

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

⁵¹ While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.

⁵² They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

³⁶ As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

³⁷ But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

³⁸ He said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?

³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”

⁴⁰ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

⁴¹ While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

⁴² They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.

⁴³ He took them, and ate in front of them.

⁴⁴ He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms concerning me must be fulfilled.”

⁴⁵ Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.

⁴⁶ 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,

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

⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ Behold, I send out the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”

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

⁵¹ While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.

⁵² They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

³⁶ As they said these things, Jesus himself stood amongst them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

³⁷ But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

³⁸ He said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?

³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”

⁴⁰ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

⁴¹ While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

⁴² They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.

⁴³ He took them, and ate in front of them.

⁴⁴ He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms concerning me must be fulfilled.”

⁴⁵ Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.

⁴⁶ 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,

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

⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ Behold, I send out the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”

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

⁵¹ While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.

⁵² They worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

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

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

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

³⁹ See; 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.

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

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

⁴² And they gave him a bit of cooked fish.

⁴³ And before their eyes he took a meal.

⁴⁴ And 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.

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

⁴⁶ And 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;

⁴⁷ And 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.

⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ And 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.

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

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

⁵² And they gave him worship and went back to Jerusalem with great joy.

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

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

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

³⁹ behold 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.

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

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

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

⁴³ and he took it and ate before them.

⁴⁴ And 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.

⁴⁵ Then he opened their understanding to understand the scriptures,

⁴⁶ and 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;

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

⁴⁸ And ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ And 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.

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

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

⁵² And they, having done him homage, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

³⁶ Now 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.

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

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

³⁹ See 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.

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

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

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

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

⁴⁴ And 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.

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

⁴⁶ And 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:

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

⁴⁸ And you are witnesses of these things.

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

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

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

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

³⁶ Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.”

³⁷ But being alarmed and becoming fearful, they thought they saw a spirit.

³⁸ And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?

³⁹ Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.”

⁴⁰ When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

⁴¹ But as they still disbelieved for joy, and marveled, He said to them, “Do you have any food here?”

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

⁴³ And taking it, He ate it in their presence.

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

⁴⁵ And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.

⁴⁶ Then 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,

⁴⁷ and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁸ And you are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ And behold, I am sending the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

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

⁵¹ And it happened, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and was carried up into heaven.

⁵² And after they had worshiped Him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

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

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

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

³⁹ Look 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.”

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

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

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

⁴³ And taking it He ate in their presence.

⁴⁴ Then 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.”

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

⁴⁶ And 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,

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

⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ Take 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.”

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

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

⁵² Worshiping Him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy;

³⁶ While they were talking, Jesus himself stood among them, and said, “Peace to you!”

³⁷ They were startled and afraid, thinking they were seeing a ghost.

³⁸ “Why are you frightened? Why are you doubting?” he asked them.

³⁹ “Look at my hands and my feet—you can see it's me. Touch me and you'll be certain, for a spirit doesn't have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

⁴⁰ Having said this, he showed them his hands and feet.

⁴¹ But they still couldn't believe it because they were so elated and amazed. He asked them, “Do you have anything to eat?”

⁴² They gave him a piece of cooked fish,

⁴³ and he took it and ate it in front of them.

⁴⁴ Then Jesus said to them, “This is what I explained to you while I was still with you. Everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, had to be fulfilled.”

⁴⁵ Then he opened their minds so they were able to understand the Scriptures.

⁴⁶ He told them, “It was written like this: the Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and in his name

⁴⁷ repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be preached to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

⁴⁸ You are witnesses of all this.

⁴⁹ Now I'm going to send you what my Father promised—but wait in the city until you receive power from heaven.”

⁵⁰ Then he led them out until they were near Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.

⁵¹ While he was blessing them, he left them, and was taken up to heaven.

⁵² They worshiped him, and then they returned to Jerusalem full of joy.

³⁶ And as they spake these things, Iesus himselfe stoode in the middes of them, and saide vnto them, Peace be to you.

³⁷ But they were abashed and afraide, supposing that they had seene a spirit.

³⁸ Then he saide vnto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore doe doutes arise in your hearts?

³⁹ Beholde mine handes and my feete: for it is I my selfe: handle me, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me haue.

⁴⁰ And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and feete.

⁴¹ And while they yet beleeued not for ioy, and wondred, he saide vnto them, Haue ye here any meate?

⁴² And they gaue him a piece of a broyled fish, and of an honie combe,

⁴³ And hee tooke it, and did eate before them.

⁴⁴ And he saide vnto them, These are the wordes, which I spake vnto you while I was yet with you, that all must be fulfilled which are written of me in the Lawe of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalmes.

⁴⁵ Then opened he their vnderstanding, that they might vnderstand the Scriptures,

⁴⁶ And said vnto them, Thus is it written, and thus it behoued Christ to suffer, and to rise againe from the dead the third day,

⁴⁷ And that repentance, and remission of sinnes should be preached in his Name among all nations, beginning at Hierusalem.

⁴⁸ Nowe ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ And beholde, I doe sende the promise of my Father vpon you: but tary ye in the citie of Hierusalem, vntill ye be endued with power from an hie.

⁵⁰ Afterward he lead them out into Bethania, and lift vp his hands, and blessed them.

⁵¹ And it came to passe, that as he blessed them, he departed from them, and was caried vp into heauen.

⁵² And they worshipped him, and returned to Hierusalem with great ioy,

³⁶ And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

³⁷ But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

³⁸ And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

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

⁴⁰ And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

⁴¹ And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

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

⁴³ And he took it, and did eat before them.

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

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

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

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

⁴⁸ And ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

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

⁵¹ And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

⁵² And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

³⁶ And while they were thus speaking, he himself stood in the midst of them.

³⁷ But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit.

³⁸ And he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

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

⁴¹ And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, Have ye anything here to eat?

⁴² And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.

⁴³ And he took and ate it before them.

⁴⁴ And he said to them, These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, concerning me.

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

⁴⁶ And he said to them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and should rise from the dead on the third day,

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

⁴⁸ Ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ And I send forth upon you that which hath been promised by my Father; but do ye tarry in the city, until ye are endued with power from on high.

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

⁵¹ And it came to pass, while he blessed them, that he parted from them.

⁵² And they returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

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

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

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

³⁹ Look 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.”

⁴¹ While 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?”

⁴² They handed him a piece of broiled fish,

⁴³ and he took it and ate it before their eyes.

⁴⁴ “This is what I told you,” he said, “when I was still with you — that everything that had been written about me in the Law of Moses, the prophets, and the Psalms, must be fulfilled.”

⁴⁵ Then he enabled them to understand the meaning of the scriptures, saying to them,

⁴⁶ “Scripture says that the Christ will suffer, and that he will rise again from the dead on the third day,

⁴⁷ and that repentance for forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed on his authority to all the nations — beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁸ You yourselves are to be witnesses to all this.

⁴⁹ And now I am myself about to send you that which my Father has promised. But you must remain in the city until you have been invested with power from above.”

⁵⁰ After this, Jesus led them out as far as Bethany, and there raised his hands and blessed them.

⁵¹ As he was in the act of blessing them, he left them.

⁵² They returned to Jerusalem full of joy;

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

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

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

³⁹ Look 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.”

⁴¹ While 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?”

⁴² They handed him a piece of broiled fish,

⁴³ and he took it and ate it before their eyes.

⁴⁴ “This is what I told you,” he said, “when I was still with you — that everything that had been written about me in the Law of Moses, the prophets, and the Psalms, must be fulfilled.”

⁴⁵ Then he enabled them to understand the meaning of the scriptures, saying to them,

⁴⁶ “Scripture says that the Christ will suffer, and that he will rise again from the dead on the third day,

⁴⁷ and that repentance for forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed on his authority to all the nations — beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁸ You yourselves are to be witnesses to all this.

⁴⁹ And now I am myself about to send you that which my Father has promised. But you must remain in the city until you have been invested with power from above.”

⁵⁰ After this, Jesus led them out as far as Bethany, and there raised his hands and blessed them.

⁵¹ As he was in the act of blessing them, he left them.

⁵² They returned to Jerusalem full of joy;

³⁶ As they said these things, Yeshua Salvation himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be to you; Ena Na I AM (the Living God), do not be afraid.”

³⁷ But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

³⁸ He said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?

³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”

⁴⁰ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

⁴¹ While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

⁴² They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.

⁴³ He took them, and ate in front of them.

⁴⁴ He said to them, “This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the Torah ·Teaching· of Moses Drawn out, the Prophets, and the Psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled.”

⁴⁵ Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.

⁴⁶ He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Messiah Anointed one to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

⁴⁷ and in his name teshuvah ·complete repentance· and remission of sins should be preached to all the nations, starting with Jerusalem City of peace.

⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ Behold, I send out the promise of 'Avi ·my Father· on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem City of peace until you are clothed with power from on high.”

⁵⁰ He led them out as far as Bethany House of affliction, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

⁵¹ While he blessed them, he withdrew from them, and was carried up into heaven.

⁵² They worshiped him, and teshuvah ·completely returned· to Jerusalem City of peace with great joy,

³⁶ While they were still telling their story, suddenly Jesus was standing right there in the middle of the group. He said to them, “Hello. I hope you feel good and quiet inside yourselves.”

³⁷ They were all shocked and frightened. They thought they were looking at a spirit.

³⁸ But Jesus said to them, “Why are you frightened? Why do you think, ‘This can’t be Jesus’? Look, it is me.

³⁹ Look at my hands and my feet. See the holes made by the nails. Touch me, to make sure I’m not a spirit. Spirits haven’t got bodies with bones in them, like I have.”

⁴⁰ After he said that, he showed them his hands and his feet.

⁴¹ They were so shocked they could hardly believe it really was Jesus, but they were really happy too. Then Jesus asked them, “Have you got anything here for me to eat?”

⁴² So they gave him a piece of cooked fish.

⁴³ He got it and ate it there in front of them.

⁴⁴ Then he said to them, “Remember the words I told you while I was still with you. I said that everything about me in God’s book will happen to me. You can read it in the words that Moses wrote, and in the words God’s other men wrote, and in the songs that are in God’s book.”

⁴⁵ Then he helped them to understand the things that are in God’s book, like he opened their brains, so they could think properly.

⁴⁶ And he said to them, “God’s book says this. The special man God will send will get a lot of trouble, and he will die, and then 3 days later he will come back to life again. That message, in God’s book, is about me.

⁴⁷ And it says you have to tell everyone about me. Tell them they have to turn away from the bad things they do and turn to God, so that he will say they are not guilty. You have to start telling people that message here in Jerusalem, and then go on to other countries, till you tell it to the people in every country.

⁴⁸ You see, you mob saw everything that happened, and you heard what I taught people, so now you have to tell it to everybody.

⁴⁹ Listen. My Father promised to give you his Holy Spirit from heaven, so wait here in this city till I send him to you. Then you will have God’s power.”

⁵⁰ Then Jesus took his followers to a town called Bethany. When they got there, he lifted up his hands and asked God to be good to them, and to make them strong.

⁵¹ While he was still talking, God lifted him up and took him away from them, up into heaven.

⁵² Then his followers showed strong respect for Jesus. They were very happy, and they went back to Jerusalem.

³⁶ As they thus spake Iesus him selfe stode in the myddes of them and sayde vnto them: peace be with you.

³⁷ And they were abasshed and afrayde supposinge that they had sene a sprete

³⁸ And he sayde vnto them: Why are ye troubled and why do thoughtes aryse in youre hertes?

³⁹ Beholde my hondes and my fete that it is even my selfe. Handle me and se: for spretes have not flesshe and bones as ye se me have.

⁴⁰ And when he had thus spoken he shewed them his hondes and his fete.

⁴¹ And whyll they yet beleved not for ioye and wondred he sayde vnto the: Have ye here eny meate?

⁴² And they gave him a pece of a broyled fisshe and of an hony combe.

⁴³ And he toke it and ate it before them.

⁴⁴ And he sayde vnto them. These are the wordes which I spake vnto you whyll I was yet with you: that all must be fulfilled which were written of me in the lawe of Moses and in the Prophetes and in the Psalmes.

⁴⁵ Then openned he their wyttes that they myght vnderstond the scriptures

⁴⁶ and sayde vnto them. Thus is it written and thus it behoved Christ to suffre and to ryse agayne from deeth the thyrde daye

⁴⁷ and that repentaunce and remission of synnes shuld be preached in his name amonge all nacions and must beginne at Ierusalem.

⁴⁸ And ye are witnesses of these thinges.

⁴⁹ And beholde I will sende the promes of my father apon you. But tary ye in the cite of Ierusalem vntyll ye be endewed with power from an hye.

⁵⁰ And he ledde the out into Bethany and lyfte vp his hondes and blest them.

⁵¹ And it cam to passe as he blessed the he departed from the and was caryed vp in to heven.

⁵² And they worshipped him and returned to Ierusalem with greate ioye

³⁶ As they spoke these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

³⁷ But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they saw a spirit.

³⁸ Jesus said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do questions arise in your heart?

³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see me having.”

⁴⁰ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

⁴¹ They still could not believe it because of joy, and they were amazed. Jesus said to them, “Do you have anything to eat?”

⁴² They gave him a piece of a broiled fish,

⁴³ and he took it and ate it before them.

⁴⁴ He said to them, “When I was with you, I told you that all that was written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”

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

⁴⁶ He said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead on the third day.

⁴⁷ Repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ See, I am sending you what my Father promised. But remain in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”

⁵⁰ Then Jesus led them out until they were near Bethany. He lifted up his hands and blessed them.

⁵¹ It happened that, while he was blessing them, he left them and was carried up into heaven.

⁵² So they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.

³⁶ As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

³⁷ But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

³⁸ He said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?

³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”

⁴⁰ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

⁴¹ While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

⁴² They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.

⁴³ He took them, and ate in front of them.

⁴⁴ He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms concerning me must be fulfilled.”

⁴⁵ Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.

⁴⁶ 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,

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

⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ Behold, I send out the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”

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

⁵¹ While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.

⁵² They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

³⁶ As they said these things, Jesus himself stood amongst them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

³⁷ But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

³⁶ And as they were thus speaking, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, Peace be to you.

³⁷ But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

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

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

⁴⁰ And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet.

⁴¹ And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said to them, Have ye here any thing for food?

⁴² And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and a honey-comb.

⁴³ And he took it , and ate before them.

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

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

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

⁵² And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

⁵¹ And it was don, the while he blesside hem, he departide fro hem, and was borun in to heuene.

⁵² And thei worschipiden, and wenten ayen in to Jerusalem with greet ioye,

³⁶ and as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, 'Peace — to you;'

³⁷ and being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit.

³⁸ And he said to them, 'Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings come up in your hearts?

³⁹ see my hands and my feet, that I am he; handle me and see, because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me having.'

⁴⁰ And having said this, he shewed to them the hands and the feet,

⁴¹ and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, he said to them, 'Have ye anything here to eat?'

⁴² and they gave to him part of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb,

⁴³ and having taken, he did eat before them,

⁴⁴ and he said to them, 'These are the words that I spake unto you, being yet with you, that it behoveth to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about me.'

⁴⁵ Then opened he up their understanding to understand the Writings,

⁴⁶ and he said to them — 'Thus it hath been written, and thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead the third day,

⁴⁷ and reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem:

⁴⁸ and ye — ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ 'And, lo, I do send the promise of my Father upon you, but ye — abide ye in the city of Jerusalem till ye be clothed with power from on high.'

⁵⁰ And he led them forth without — unto Bethany, and having lifted up his hands he did bless them,

⁵¹ and it came to pass, in his blessing them, he was parted from them, and was borne up to the heaven;

⁵² and they, having bowed before him, did turn back to Jerusalem with great joy,
