Luke 24:36-44

J.B. Phillips New Testament

Jesus suddenly appears to the disciples

³⁶ And while they were still talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said, “Peace be to you all!”

³⁷ But they shrank back in terror for they thought they were seeing a ghost.

^38-40 “Why are you so worried?” said Jesus, “and why do doubts arise in your minds? Look at my hands and feet—it is really I myself! Feel me and see; ghosts have no flesh or bones as you can see that I have.”

⁴¹ But while they still could not believe it through sheer joy and were quite bewildered, Jesus said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?”

^42-44 They gave him a piece of broiled fish and part of a honeycomb which he took and ate before their eyes. Then he said, “Here and now are fulfilled the words that I told you when I was with you: that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and in the prophets and psalms must come true.”
