When He had thus spoken, He showed them His hands and His feet. And
while they were still astonished, He said to them, Have you anything
to eat? They gave Him a piece of broiled fish and a piece of a
honeycomb. He took it and ate it before them. He said, These are the
words I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all things must be
fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses and in the prophets,
and in the psalms, concerning me.
Then He opened their understanding, that they might know the
scriptures. He said to them, Thus it is written that the Messiah would
suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance for
the forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name among all
nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
You are witnesses to these things. Behold, I send the promise of my
Father upon you. Stay in the city of Jerusalem until you are filled
with power from on high. He led them out as far as Bethany, and He
lifted up His hands, and blessed them.
While He blessed them, He was parted from them and taken up into
heaven. They worshipped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.
Amen.
