New International Reader's Version

Luke 24:33-40 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

33. They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them. They were all gathered together.

34. They were saying, "It's true! The Lord has risen! He has appeared to Simon!"

35. Then the two of them told what had happened to them on the way. They told how they had recognized Jesus when he broke the bread.

36. The disciples were still talking about this when Jesus himself suddenly stood among them. He said, "May peace be with you!"

37. They were surprised and terrified. They thought they were seeing a ghost.

38. Jesus said to them, "Why are you troubled? Why do you have doubts in your minds?

39. Look at my hands and my feet. It is really I! Touch me and see. A ghost does not have a body or bones. But you can see that I do."

40. After he said that, he showed them his hands and feet.
