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.
