Luke 24:30-49

New American Standard Bible

³⁰ And it came about, when He had reclined at the table with them, that He took the bread and ^(A)blessed it, and He broke it and began giving it to them. ³¹ And then their ^(B)eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from ^[a]their sight. ³² They said to one another, “^[b]Were our hearts not burning within us when He was speaking to us on the road, while He ^(C)was ^[c]explaining the Scriptures to us?” ³³ And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and ^(D)found the eleven gathered together and ^(E)those who were with them, ³⁴ saying, “^(F)The Lord has really risen and ^(G)has appeared to Simon!” ³⁵ They began to relate ^[d]their experiences on the road, and how ^(H)He was recognized by them at the breaking of the bread.

Other Appearances

³⁶ Now while they were telling these things, ^(I)Jesus Himself suddenly stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace be to you.” ³⁷ But they were startled and frightened, and thought that they were looking at ^(J)a spirit. ³⁸ And He said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why are doubts arising in your ^[e]hearts? ^39 (K)See My hands and My feet, that ^[f]it is I Myself; ^(L)touch Me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you plainly see that I have.” ⁴⁰ And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. ⁴¹ While they still ^[g](M)could not believe it because of their joy and astonishment, He said to them, “^(N)Have you anything here to eat?” ⁴² They served Him a piece of broiled fish; ⁴³ and He took it and ^(O)ate it in front of them.

⁴⁴ Now He said to them, “^(P)These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all the things that are written about Me in the ^(Q)Law of Moses and the Prophets and ^(R)the Psalms must be fulfilled.” ⁴⁵ Then He ^(S)opened their ^[h]minds to understand the Scriptures, ⁴⁶ and He said to them, “^(T)So it is written, that the ^[i]Christ would suffer and ^(U)rise from the dead on the third day, ⁴⁷ and that ^(V)repentance ^[j]for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed ^[k]in His name to ^(W)all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ You are ^(X)witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹ And behold, ^(Y)I am sending the promise of My Father upon you; but ^(Z)you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
