They excitedly came back to the others.

The Lord is risen indeed.

He has appeared to Simon.

We didn't recognize Him, not on the road.

But when He broke bread, then we knew Him.

At Emmaus. How strange He should go there.

Peace be with you.

Why are you troubled?

Why are these doubts coming up in your minds?

Look, my hands and my feet,

and see that it is I, Myself.

Feel Me and you will know.

For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.

These are the very things I told you about,

while I was still with you.

That everything written about Me in the Law of Moses

and the writings of the prophets and the Psalms

had to come true.

This is what is written;

The Messiah must suffer, and rise from the dead on the third day.

And in His name,

the message of repentance and the forgiveness of sins

must be preached to all nations,

beginning in Jerusalem.

You are witnesses of these things.

And I Myself bring the promise of My Father upon you.

But you must wait in the city,

until the power from above comes down upon you.
