²⁸ As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. ²⁹ But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.

³⁰ When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it^(A) and began to give it to them. ³¹ Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him,^(B) and he disappeared from their sight. ³² They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us^(C) while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures^(D) to us?”

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^(E) has risen and has appeared to Simon.”^{(F) 35} Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.^(G)

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.”^(H)

³⁷ They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.^{(I) 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;^(J) 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.^(K)

⁴⁴ He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you:^(L) Everything must be fulfilled^(M) that is written about me in the Law of Moses,^(N) the Prophets^(O) and the Psalms.”^(P)

⁴⁵ Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.

Jesus Appears to His Disciples

¹⁹ On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders,^(A) Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace^(B) be with you!”^(C)

²⁶ A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace^(A) be with you!”^{(B) 27} Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”^(C)

²⁸ Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
