36 As they were still talking about these things, Yeshua himself suddenly was there standing in the room and told them, “Peace to you all.”

37 However, they got a fright and then were terrified thinking that it was a spirit. 38 Then he spoke to them again, “Why are you all upset, and why are you thinking such stuff? 39 Look at my hands and feet and you’ll see that it’s me. Touch me and look, because spirits don’t have solid bodies like you can see that I have.”

40 Then he showed them his hands and his feet. 41 Some of them, still not believing, had a mixture of happiness and doubt, and he asked them, “Have you got anything here to eat?” 42 They handed him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in front of them.

44 Then he told them, “While I was still with you all I told you those messages of mine, and how that everything written about me by Moses and the prophets and in the songs, it’s all going to be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to be able to understand the scriptures, and he told them, 46 “It was written that the messiah would suffer and to come back to life on the third day, 47 and that his name will be proclaimed as the authority to forgive the sins of the people when they repent—people from every country beginning here in Yerusalem. 48 You all are witnesses of all that. 49 [ref]Soon I’ll be sending out the one that my father promised to you all, but first you must sit here in the city until you all get clothed in power that comes from heaven.”
