New Testament

Luke 24:32-46 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

32. They said to each other, "He talked with us on the road. He opened the Scriptures to us. Weren't our hearts burning inside us during that time?"

33. They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them. They were all gathered together.

34. They were saying, "It's true! The Lord has risen! He has appeared to Simon!"

35. Then the two of them told what had happened to them on the way. They told how they had recognized Jesus when he broke the bread.

36. The disciples were still talking about this when Jesus himself suddenly stood among them. He said, "May peace be with you!"

37. They were surprised and terrified. They thought they were seeing a ghost.

38. Jesus said to them, "Why are you troubled? Why do you have doubts in your minds?

39. Look at my hands and my feet. It is really I! Touch me and see. A ghost does not have a body or bones. But you can see that I do."

40. After he said that, he showed them his hands and feet.

41. But they still did not believe it. They were amazed and filled with joy. So Jesus asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"

42. They gave him a piece of cooked fish.

43. He took it and ate it in front of them.

44. Jesus said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you. Everything written about me must happen. Everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms must come true."

45. Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.

46. He told them, "This is what is written. The Christ will suffer. He will rise from the dead on the third day.
