Luke 24:36-43

The Resurrection

³⁶And just as they were telling about it, Jesus himself was suddenly standing there among them. “Peace be with you,” he said. ³⁷But the whole group was startled and frightened, thinking they were seeing a ghost!

³⁸“Why are you frightened?” he asked. “Why are your hearts filled with doubt? ³⁹Look at my hands. Look at my feet. You can see that it’s really me. Touch me and make sure that I am not a ghost, because ghosts don’t have bodies, as you see that I do.” ⁴⁰As he spoke, he showed them his hands and his feet.

⁴¹Still they stood there in disbelief, filled with joy and wonder. Then he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” ⁴²They gave him a piece of broiled fish, ⁴³and he ate it as they watched.
