Jesus Appears to His Disciples

36 Now while they were telling these things, (A)He Himself stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace to you.” 37 But being startled and frightened, they were thinking that they were seeing (B)a spirit. 38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your [a]hearts? 39 (C)See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; (D)touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” 40 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. 41 And while they still (E)were not believing because of their joy and were still marveling, He said to them, (F)Have you anything here to eat?” 42 They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish, 43 and He took it and (G)ate it before them.

Touch me and make sure that I am not a ghost, because ghosts don’t have bodies, as you see that I do.” 40 As he spoke, he showed them his hands and his feet.

41 Still they stood there in disbelief, filled with joy and wonder. Then he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he ate it as they watched.
