36 As they were talking about these things, ^cJesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!” 37 But they were ^dstartled and ^efrightened and ^fthought 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. ^gTouch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” 40 And when he had said this, ^hhe showed them his hands and his feet. 41 And while they still disbelieved ⁱfor joy and were marveling, ^jhe said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish,¹ 43 and he took it and ate before them.

44 Then he said to them, ^k“These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, ^lthat everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then ^mhe opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, “Thus ⁿit is written, ^othat the Christ should suffer and on the third day ^prise from the dead, 47 and that ^qrepentance for² the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed ^rin his name ^sto all nations, ^tbeginning from Jerusalem. 48 ^uYou are witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, I am sending ^vthe promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you ^ware clothed with ^xpower ^yfrom on high.”
