And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: **20 **And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. **21 **But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. **22 **Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; **23 **And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. **24 **And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found *it* even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. **25 **Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: **26 **Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? **27 **And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. **28 **And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. **29 **But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. **30 **And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed *it*, and brake, and gave to them. **31 **And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. **32 **And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? **33 **And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, **34 **Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. **35 **And they told what things *were done* in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. **36 **And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace *be* unto you. **37 **But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. **38 **And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? **39 **Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. **40 **And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them *his* hands and *his* feet. **41 **And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? **42 **And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. **43 **And he took *it*, and did eat before them. **44 **And he said unto them, These *are* the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and *in* the prophets, and *in* the psalms, concerning me. **45 **Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, **46 **And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: **47 **And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. **48 **And ye are witnesses of these things. **49 **And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. **50 **And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. **51 **And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. **52 **And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: **53 **And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
