Gospel: Luke 24:35-48

³⁵ Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.
³⁶ As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them.
³⁷ But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit.
³⁸ And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do questionings rise in your hearts?
³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.”
⁴¹ And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?”
⁴² They gave him a piece of broiled fish,
⁴³ and he took it and ate before them.
⁴⁴ Then he said to them, “These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled.”
⁴⁵ Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures,
⁴⁶ and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead,
⁴⁷ and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things.
