30. And it occurred that as He reclined at table with them, He took [a loaf of] bread and praised [God] and gave thanks and asked a blessing, and then broke it and was giving it to them
31. When their eyes were [instantly] opened and they [clearly] recognized Him, and He vanished (departed invisibly).
32. And they said to one another, Were not our hearts greatly moved and burning within us while He was talking with us on the road and as He opened and explained to us [the sense of] the Scriptures?
33. And rising up that very hour, they went back to Jerusalem, where they found the Eleven [apostles] gathered together and those who were with them,
34. Who said, The Lord really has risen and has appeared to Simon (Peter)!
35. Then they [themselves] related [in full] what had happened on the road, and how He was known and recognized by them in the breaking of bread.
36. Now while they were talking about this, Jesus Himself took His stand among them and said to them, Peace (freedom from all the distresses that are experienced as the result of sin) be to you!
37. But they were so startled and terrified that they thought they saw a spirit.
38. And He said to them, Why are you disturbed and troubled, and why do such doubts and questionings arise in your hearts?
39. See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself! Feel and handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.
40. And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
