The Reality of the Risen Jesus
36 And(A) as they were saying these things, He Himself stood among them. He said to them, “Peace(B) to you!” 37 But they were startled and terrified(C) and thought they were seeing a ghost.(D) 38 “Why are you troubled?”(E) He asked them. “And why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Look at My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself!(F) Touch Me and see,(G) because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.” 40 Having said this, He showed them His hands and feet. 41 But while they still were amazed and unbelieving because of their joy, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish,[a] 43 and He took it and ate in their presence.
44 Then He told them, “These are My words(H) that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets,(I) and the Psalms(J) must be fulfilled.” 45 Then He opened their minds(K) to understand(L) the Scriptures. 46 He also said to them, “This is what is written:[b] The Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead the third day,(M) 47 and repentance for[c] forgiveness of sins(N) would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations,(O) beginning at Jerusalem.(P) 48 You are witnesses(Q) of these things. 49 And look, I am sending you[d] what My Father promised.(R) As for you, stay in the city[e] until you are empowered[f](S) from on high.”
The Ascension of Jesus
50 Then He led them out as far as Bethany,(T) and lifting up His hands(U) He blessed them. 51 And while He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.(V) 52 After worshiping Him,(W) they returned to Jerusalem with great joy.(X) 53 And they were continually in the temple complex praising God.[g](Y)

Jesus Appears to the Disciples
36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”(A)
37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.(B) 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see;(C) 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 believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.(D)
44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you:(E) Everything must be fulfilled(F) that is written about me in the Law of Moses,(G) the Prophets(H) and the Psalms.”(I)
45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer(J) and rise from the dead on the third day,(K) 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name(L) to all nations,(M) beginning at Jerusalem.(N) 48 You are witnesses(O) of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised;(P) but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
The Ascension of Jesus
50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany,(Q) he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven.(R) 52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they stayed continually at the temple,(S) praising God.
