The Word Proclaimed - Luke 24:36-50 (NRSV)

While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them,
Peace be with you. They were startled and terrified, and thought that they were
seeing a ghost. He said to them, Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise
in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and
see; for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have. And when he
had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. While in their joy they were
disbelieving and still wondering, he said to them, Have you anything here to eat?
They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate in their presence.
Then he said to them, These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with
youthat everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the
psalms must be fulfilled. Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures,
and he said to them, Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise
from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be
proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of
these things. And see, I am sending upon you what my Father promised; so stay here in
the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.
Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and, lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
