believe all that the prophets have spoken! (26)Ought not the Messiah to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? (27)And beginning from Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them in all the scriptures, the things relating to himself. (28)And they drew nigh to the village, whither they were going: and he was proceeding on, as if going farther. (29)And they warmly pressed him, saying, Stay with us: for the evening draws on, and the day declines. And he went in to stay with them. (30)And it came to pass, when he was sitting down at table with them, taking up a loaf, he blessed it, and breaking, distributed it to them. (31)Then their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he became invisible to them. (32)And they said to each other, Did not our hearts burn within us, as he talked with us on the road, and as he distinctly opened to us the scriptures? (33)And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them crowded together, (34)saying, The Lord is risen assuredly, and hath appeared to Simon. (35)Then these recounted what had passed on the road, and how he was known to them by the breaking of the bread. (36)While they were relating these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you! (37)But terrified and affrighted, they thought they saw a spirit.

(42)Then they gave him a part of a broiled fish, and a piece of honey-comb. (43)And receiving it, he did eat in their presence. (44)And said unto them, These are the sayings which I spake unto you, when I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me. (45)Then opened he thoroughly their understanding, that they should understand the scriptures, (46)and said to them, That thus it is written, and thus must the Messiah suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day (47)and that repentance and remission of sin should be preached in his name unto all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. (48)And ye are the witnesses of these things. (49)And, behold, I send unto you the promise of my Father: but sit ye down in the city of Jerusalem, until ye shall be endued with power from on high. (50)And he led them without _the city_ as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. (51)And it came to pass, as he pronounced the benediction upon them, he was parted from them, and taken up into heaven. (52)And they, after paying him their adorations,
