³⁶

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 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. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.

⁴⁰

When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

⁴¹

But while they still did not believe for joy, and marveled, He said to them, "Have you any food here?"

⁴²

So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.

⁴³

And He took it and ate in their presence.

⁴⁴

Then He said to them, "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 He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.

⁴⁶

Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the 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 to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁸

And you are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹

Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.

⁵⁰

And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

⁵¹

Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.

⁵²

And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

⁵³

and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen.
