New Testament

Luke 24:29-47 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

29. But they were insistent with him, saying, "Remain with us, because it is toward evening and now daylight is declining." And so he entered with them.

30. And it happened that, while he was at table with them, he took bread, and he blessed and broke it, and he extended it to them.

31. And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their eyes.

32. And they said to one another, "Was not our heart burning within us, while he was speaking on the way, and when he opened the Scriptures to us?"

33. And rising up at that same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,

34. saying: "In truth, the Lord has risen, and he has appeared to Simon."

35. And they explained the things that were done on the way, and how they had recognized him at the breaking of the bread.

36. Then, while they were talking about these things, Jesus stood in their midst, And he said to them: "Peace be with you. It is I. Do not be afraid."

37. Yet truly, they were very disturbed and terrified, supposing that they saw a spirit.

38. And he said to them: "Why are you disturbed, and why do these thoughts rise up in your hearts?

39. See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Look and touch. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have."

40. And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.

41. Then, while they were still in disbelief and in wonder out of joy, he said, "Do you have anything here to eat?"

42. And they offered him a piece of roasted fish and a honeycomb.

43. And when he had eaten these in their sight, taking up what was left, he gave it to them.

44. And he said to them: "These are the words that I spoke to you when I was still with you, because all things must be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms about me."

45. Then he opened their mind, so that they might understand the Scriptures.

46. And he said to them: "For so it is written, and so it was necessary, for the Christ to suffer and to rise up from the dead on the third day,

47. and, in his name, for repentance and the remission of sins to be preached, among all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
