Luke 24:36-49

The Risen Christ Opens the Scriptures, Commissions Witnesses, and Ascends in Blessing

The women find the empty tomb and remember Jesus’ words, Peter sees the grave clothes and wonders, the Emmaus disciples meet the risen Christ through Scripture and table recognition, Jesus appears bodily to the gathered disciples, opens their minds to Scripture, commissions them as witnesses to repentance and forgiveness for all nations, promises power from on high, blesses them, ascends, and leaves them worshiping with great joy.

36While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

40And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

41While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

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

44Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.”

45Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

48You are witnesses of these things.

49And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
