35. And they told what things were done in the way, and how he
was known of them in breaking of bread.
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:
53. And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing
God. Amen.
