Luke 24:35-49 - Jesus Appears To The Disciples

³⁵ And they told what had taken place on the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread.

³⁶ And while they were speaking of these things, Jesus him self stood in the midst of them, and said to them: Peace be to you. ³⁷ But they were terrified and frightened, and thought that they saw a spirit. ³⁸ And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? ³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me have. ⁴⁰ And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. ⁴¹ And while they did not believe as yet for joy, and were astonished, he said to them: Have you any thing here to eat? ⁴² And they gave him a piece of broiled fish, and of a honey comb. ⁴³ And he took it, and did eat before them.

⁴⁴ And he said to them: These are the words that I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled that are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their mind, that they might understand the scriptures, ⁴⁶ and he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus was it necessary that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day, ⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹ And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you. But do you remain in the city of Jerusalem, till you be clothed with power from on high.

¹⁹ Then, on that day, the first day of the week, when it was evening, and the doors of the house in which the disciples were assembled had been closed for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace be to you.

²⁰ And having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced, when they saw the Lord.

²¹ Then Jesus said to them again: Peace be to you. As my Father has sent me, so I send you. ²² And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them: Receive the Holy Spirit. ²³ Whosever sins you forgive, they are forgiven them: whosever sins you retain, they are retained.
