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

³⁵ Then they related what had happened on the way, and how He had been recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

³⁶ While they were thus talking, He Himself stood in their midst and said, "Peace be to you!" ³⁷ Startled, and in the utmost alarm, they thought they were looking at a spirit; ³⁸ but He said to them, "Why such alarm? And why are there such questionings in your minds? ³⁹ See my hands and my feet--it is my very self. Feel me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see I have." ⁴⁰ And then He showed them His hands and His feet. ⁴¹ But, while they still could not believe it for joy and were full of astonishment, He asked them, "Have you any food here?" ⁴² And they gave Him a piece of roasted fish, ⁴³ and He took it and ate it in their presence.

⁴⁴ And He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you--that everything must be fulfilled that is written in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and the Psalms concerning me." ⁴⁵ Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, ⁴⁶ and He said, "Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and on the third day rise again from among the dead; ⁴⁷ and that proclamation would be made, in His name, of repentance and forgiveness of sins to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ You are witnesses as to these things. ⁴⁹ And remember that I am about to send out my Father's promised gift to rest upon you. But, as for you, wait patiently in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

¹⁹ On that same first day of the week, when it was evening and, for fear of the Jews, the doors of the house where the disciples were, were locked, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, "Peace be to you!"

²⁰ Having said this He showed them His hands and also His side; and the disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Master.

²¹ A second time, therefore, He said to them, "Peace be to you! As the Father sent me, I also now send you." ²² Having said this He breathed upon them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. ²³ If you remit the sins of any persons, they remain remitted to them. If you bind fast the sins of any, they remain bound."
