Luke 24:32-49

New King James Version

³² And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?” ³³ So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, ³⁴ saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and ^(A)has appeared to Simon!” ³⁵ And they told about the things that had happened on the road, and how He was ^[a]known to them in the breaking of bread.

Jesus Appears to His Disciples^(B)

^36 (C)Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.” ³⁷ But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen ^(D)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. ^(E)Handle Me and see, for a ^(F)spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.”

^40 [b]When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. ⁴¹ But while they still did not believe ^(G)for joy, and marveled, He said to them, ^(H)“Have you any food here?” ⁴² So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish ^[c]and some honeycomb. ^43 (I)And He took it and ate in their presence.

The Scriptures Opened

⁴⁴ Then He said to them, ^(J)“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 ^(K)He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.

⁴⁶ Then He said to them, ^(L)“Thus it is written, ^[d]and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, ⁴⁷ and that repentance and ^(M)remission of sins should be preached in His name ^(N)to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ And ^(O)you are witnesses of these things. ^49 (P)Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city ^[e]of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”
