Read in context

Luke 24:35–39 · Berean Standard Bible

35 Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

36 While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37 But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38 “Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39 Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
