The Reality of the Risen Jesus

36 As(A) they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst. 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 in disbelief 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.

Jesus Appears to the Disciples(A)

36 While they were all talking about this, Jesus[a] himself stood among them and told them, “Peace be with you.”[b]

37 They were startled and terrified, thinking they were seeing a ghost. 38 But Jesus[c] told them, “What’s frightening you? And why are you doubting? 39 Look at my hands and my feet, because it’s really me. Touch me and look at me, because a ghost doesn’t have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” 40 After he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.[d] 41 Even though they were still skeptical due to their joy and astonishment, Jesus[e] 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.
