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

³⁵ And they related the things on the way, and how he was known to them by the breaking of bread.

³⁶ And as they were saying these things he stood in the midst of them; ³⁷ and they being terrified and afraid, thought they saw a spirit. ³⁸ And he said to them, Why are you troubled? and why do doubts arise in your minds? ³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that I am he; feel of me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see me have. ⁴⁰ (Added verse not retained in Sawyer) ⁴¹ And while they yet disbelieved from joy, and wondered, he said to them, Have you any food here? ⁴² And they gave him part of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb; ⁴³ and taking it, he eat before them.

⁴⁴ And he said to them, These are my words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all things written in the law of Moses, and Prophets, and Psalms, concerning me, must be fully accomplished. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their understanding to understand the Scriptures, ⁴⁶ and said to them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise from the dead on the third day, ⁴⁷ and that a change of mind and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹ Behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but remain in the city till you are endued with power from on high.

¹⁹ Then when it was evening, on that first day of the week, and the doors were shut where the disciples were 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 both his hands and his side; then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

²¹ Then he said to them again, Peace be to you; as the Father has sent me, I also send you. ²² And having said this he breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit. ²³ Those whose sins you forgive, are forgiven; and whose you retain, are retained.
