19 On the evening of
that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors
locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be
with you!" 20 After he said this, he
showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the
Lord.
John 20:19-20
Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for
their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him
after he had risen.
Mark 16:14
33b the Eleven and those with them,
assembled together.... 36 Jesus himself
stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."
37 They were startled and frightened,
thinking they saw a ghost.
38 He said to them, "Why are you
troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39
Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a
ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have."
40 When he had said this, he showed
them his hands and feet. 41 And while
they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, "Do
you have anything here to eat?" 42 They
gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and
he took it and ate it in their presence.
44 He said to them, "This is what I
told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is
written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms."
45 Then he opened their minds so they could
understand the Scriptures.
46 He told them, "This is what is
written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
47 and repentance and forgiveness of sins
will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
49 I am going to send you what my Father has
promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on
high."
Luke 24:33, 36-49 |
