day since all this took place. 22 In ad dition,
some of our wom en amazed us. They
went to the tomb ear ly this morn ing 23 but
didn’t find his body. They came and told
us that they had seen a vi sion of an gels,
who said he was alive. 24 Then some of our
com pan ions went to the tomb and found
it just as the wom en had said, but they did
not see Jesus.”
25 He said to them, “How fool ish you
are, and how slow to be lieve all that the
prophets have spoken! 26 Did not the Messi
ah have to suf fer these things and then
en ter his glo ry?” 27 And be gin ning with
Mo ses and all the Proph ets, he ex plained
to them what was said in all the Scrip tures
concerning himself.
28 As they ap proached the vil lage to
which they were go ing, Jesus con tin ued
on as if he were go ing far ther. 29 But they
urged him strong ly, “Stay with us, for it is
near ly eve ning; the day is al most over.”
So he went in to stay with them.
30 When he was at the ta ble with them,
he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and
be gan to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes
were opened and they rec og nized him,
and he dis ap peared from their sight.
32 They asked each oth er, “Were not our
hearts burning within us while he talked
with us on the road and opened the Scriptures
to us?”
33 They got up and re turned at once to
Je ru sa lem. There they found the Elev en
and those with them, assembled together
34 and say ing, “It is true! The Lord has ris en
and has ap peared to Si mon.” 35 Then the
two told what had hap pened on the way,
and how Jesus was rec og nized by them
when he broke the bread.
Jesus Appears to the Disciples
36 While they were still talk ing about
this, Jesus him self stood among them and
said to them, “Peace be with you.”
37 They were star tled and fright ened,
think ing they saw a ghost. 38 He said to
them, “Why are you trou bled, and why do
doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my
hands and my feet. It is I my self ! Touch
me and see; a ghost does not have flesh
and bones, as you see I have.”
40 When he had said this, he showed
them his hands and feet. 41 And while they
still did not be lieve it be cause of joy and
amaze ment, he asked them, “Do you have
any thing here to eat?” 42 They gave him a
piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and
ate it in their pres ence.
44 He said to them, “This is what I told
you while I was still with you: Everything
must be ful filled that is writ ten about me
in the Law of Mo ses, the Proph ets and
the Psalms.”
45 Then he opened their minds so they
could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told
them, “This is what is writ ten: The Messi
ah will suf fer and rise from the dead
on the third day, 47 and re pen tance for
the for give ness of sins will be preached
in his name to all na tions, be gin ning at
Je ru sa lem. 48 You are wit ness es of these
things. 49 I am go ing to send you what my
Fa ther has prom ised; but stay in the city
un til you have been clothed with pow er
from on high.”
