Luke 24:33-49
New American Standard Bible
33 And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and (A)found the eleven gathered together and (B)those who were with them, 34 saying, “(C)The Lord has really risen and (D)has appeared to Simon!” 35 They began to relate [a]their experiences on the road, and how (E)He was recognized by them at the breaking of the bread.
Other Appearances
36 Now while they were telling these things, (F)Jesus Himself suddenly stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace be to you.” 37 But they were startled and frightened, and thought that they were looking at (G)a spirit. 38 And He said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why are doubts arising in your [b]hearts? 39 (H)See My hands and My feet, that [c]it is I Myself; (I)touch Me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you plainly see that I have.” 40 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. 41 While they still [d](J)could not believe it because of their joy and astonishment, He said to them, “(K)Have you anything here to eat?” 42 They served Him a piece of broiled fish; 43 and He took it and (L)ate it in front of them.
44 Now He said to them, “(M)These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all the things that are written about Me in the (N)Law of Moses and the Prophets and (O)the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then He (P)opened their [e]minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and He said to them, “(Q)So it is written, that the [f]Christ would suffer and (R)rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and that (S)repentance [g]for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed [h]in His name to (T)all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are (U)witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, (V)I am sending the promise of My Father upon you; but (W)you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”

33 That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem, and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together.(A) 34 They were saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!”(B) 35 Then they told what had happened on the road and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
36 While they were talking about this, Jesus[a] himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”[b] 37 They were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost.(C) 38 He said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see, for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”(D) 40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.[c] 41 Yet for all their joy they were still disbelieving and wondering, and he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?”(E) 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish,[d] 43 and he took it and ate in their presence.(F)
44 Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.”(G) 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, 46 and he said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Messiah[e] is[f] to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day(H) 47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.(I) 48 You are witnesses[g] of these things.(J) 49 And see, I am sending upon you what my Father promised, so stay here in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”(K)

33 And rising up, the same hour, they went back to Jerusalem: and they found the eleven gathered together, and those that were staying with them,
34 Saying: The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35 And they told what things were done in the way; and how they knew him in the breaking of the bread.
36 Now whilst they were speaking these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them, and saith to them: Peace be to you; it is I, fear not.
37 But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit.
38 And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 See my hands and feet, that it is I myself; handle, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me to have.
40 And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and feet.
41 But while they yet believed not, and wondered for joy, he said: Have you any thing to eat?
42 And they offered him a piece of a broiled fish, and a honeycomb.
43 And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them.
44 And he said to them: These are the words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.
46 And he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead, the third day:
47 And that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And you are witnesses of these things.
49 And I send the promise of my Father upon you: but stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high.

The Message
A Ghost Doesn’t Have Muscle and Bone
33-34 They didn’t waste a minute. They were up and on their way back to Jerusalem. They found the Eleven and their friends gathered together, talking away: “It’s really happened! The Master has been raised up—Simon saw him!”
35 Then the two went over everything that happened on the road and how they recognized him when he broke the bread.
36-41 While they were saying all this, Jesus appeared to them and said, “Peace be with you.” They thought they were seeing a ghost and were scared half to death. He continued with them, “Don’t be upset, and don’t let all these doubting questions take over. Look at my hands; look at my feet—it’s really me. Touch me. Look me over from head to toe. A ghost doesn’t have muscle and bone like this.” As he said this, he showed them his hands and feet. They still couldn’t believe what they were seeing. It was too much; it seemed too good to be true.
41-43 He asked, “Do you have any food here?” They gave him a piece of leftover fish they had cooked. He took it and ate it right before their eyes.
You’re the Witnesses
44 Then he said, “Everything I told you while I was with you comes to this: All the things written about me in the Law of Moses, in the Prophets, and in the Psalms have to be fulfilled.”
45-49 He went on to open their understanding of the Word of God, showing them how to read their Bibles this way. He said, “You can see now how it is written that the Messiah suffers, rises from the dead on the third day, and then a total life-change through the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed in his name to all nations—starting from here, from Jerusalem! You’re the first to hear and see it. You’re the witnesses. What comes next is very important: I am sending what my Father promised to you, so stay here in the city until he arrives, until you’re equipped with power from on high.”

33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, “It is true! The Lord(A) has risen and has appeared to Simon.”(B) 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.(C)
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.”(D)
37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.(E) 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;(F) 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.(G)
44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you:(H) Everything must be fulfilled(I) that is written about me in the Law of Moses,(J) the Prophets(K) and the Psalms.”(L)
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(M) and rise from the dead on the third day,(N) 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name(O) to all nations,(P) beginning at Jerusalem.(Q) 48 You are witnesses(R) of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised;(S) but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
