Luke 24:37

Luke 24:37

35 And they told about the things that had happened on the road, and how He was¹ known to them in the breaking of bread.

Jesus Appears to His Disciples

36 ^aNow as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.”

37 But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen ^aa spirit.

38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39 Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. ^aHandle Me and see, for a ^bspirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.”

40 ¹When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

41 But while they still did not believe ^afor joy, and marveled, He said to them, ^b“Have you any food here?”
