Strongs On/Off
Context
24:35 Then they told what had happened on the road , and how they recognized him when he broke the bread .
Jesus Makes a Final Appearance
24:36 While they were saying these things , Jesus himself stood among them and said to them , “Peace be with you .”
24:37 But they were startled and terrified , thinking they saw a ghost .
24:38 Then he said to them , “Why are you frightened , and why do doubts arise in your hearts ?
24:39 Look at my hands and my feet ; it’s me ! Touch me and see ; a ghost does not have flesh and bones like you see I have .”
24:40 When he had said this , he showed them his hands and his feet .
24:41 And while they still could not believe it (because of their joy ) and were amazed , he said to them , “Do you have anything here to eat ?”
24:42 So they gave him a piece of broiled fish ,
24:43 and he took it and ate it in front of them .
Jesus’ Final Commission
24:44 Then he said to them , “These are my words that 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 .”
24:45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the scriptures ,
24:46 and said to them , “Thus it stands written that the Christ would suffer and would rise from the dead on the third day ,
24:47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in his name to all nations , beginning from Jerusalem .
24:48 You are witnesses of these things .
24:49 And look , I am sending you what my Father promised . But stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high .”
Jesus’ Departure
24:50 Then Jesus led them out as far as Bethany , and lifting up his hands , he blessed them .
24:51 Now during the blessing he departed and was taken up into heaven .
24:52 So they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy ,
24:53 and were continually in the temple courts blessing God .
