Luke Chapter 24 Verse 40And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them [his] hands and [his] feet.

And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed [it], and brake, and gave to them.

And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, ‹Have ye here any meat?›

And said unto them, ‹Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:›

‹And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.›

‹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.›

And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
