| As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them [and said to them, "Peace to you!" | The Appearance to the Disciples Lk.24.36-49 Mt.28.16-20

|
| But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit. |
|
| And he said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do questionings rise in your hearts? |
|
| See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have." |
|
| And while they still disbelieved with joy, and wondered, he said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?" |
|
| They gave him a piece of broiled fish, |
|
| and he took it and ate before them. |
|
| Then he said to them, "These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled." |
|
| Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, |
|
| and said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, |
|
| and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. |
|
| You are witnesses of these things. |
|
| And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city, until you are clothed with power from on high." |
