36 And as the apostles were talking about these things, Jesus Himself [reappeared], standing among them, and said to them, “May there be peace in your lives.”
37 But they became frightened and [even] terrified, and assumed they were seeing a spirit.
38 Then Jesus said to them, “Why are you [so] upset? And why are you having doubts [about me] in your minds?
39 Look at my hands and my feet and realize that it is I, myself. Feel me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.” {{Some ancient authorities omit verse
40 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.}}
41 And while they still could not believe [i.e., or, could hardly believe], out of joy and wonderment, Jesus said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
42 So, they gave Him a piece of broiled fish.
43 And He took it and ate it in front of them.
44 Then Jesus said to the apostles, “These are the words that I told you while I was still with you, [when I said] that everything written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms about me needed to be fulfilled.”
45 Then He opened their minds [miraculously ?] so they would understand the Scriptures.
46 And He said to them, “This is what was written: The Christ [i.e., God’s specially chosen one] will suffer, and [then] rise again from the dead on the third day.
47 And [the need for] a change of heart and life in order to receive the forgiveness of sins [from God] will be preached in Jesus’ name [i.e., by His authority] to people of all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
48 You apostles are [to be] witnesses of these things [i.e., they were to give their testimony of these truths. See Acts 1:8].
49 And look, I [am going to] send upon you apostles what my Father promised [i.e., the Holy Spirit. See John 14:26]; but you should wait in the city [of Jerusalem] until you are clothed with power from above.” [Note: This promise was fulfilled when the apostles were immersed in the Holy Spirit. See Acts 1:4 - 2:4].
