Luke 24:35-43
New Testament for Everyone
35 Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.
Jesus’ promise and ascension
36 As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and said, “Peace be with you.” 37 They were terrified and alarmed, and thought they were seeing a ghost.
