Luke 24:36-40

J.B. Phillips New Testament

Jesus suddenly appears to the disciples

³⁶ And while they were still talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said, “Peace be to you all!”

³⁷ But they shrank back in terror for they thought they were seeing a ghost.

^38-40 “Why are you so worried?” said Jesus, “and why do doubts arise in your minds? Look at my hands and feet—it is really I myself! Feel me and see; ghosts have no flesh or bones as you can see that I have.”
