Jesus Makes a Final Appearance

36  While they were saying these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 37  But they were startled and terrified, thinking they saw a ghost. 38  Then he said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39  Look at my hands and my feet; it’s me! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones like you see I have.” 40  When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41  And while they still could not believe it (because of their joy) and were amazed, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42  So they gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43  and he took it and ate it in front of them.
