Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Luke
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Luke
024:037 Startled, and in the utmost alarm, they thought they were
looking at a spirit;
024:038 but He said to them, "Why such alarm? And why are there
such questionings in your minds?
024:039 See my hands and my feet--it is my very self. Feel me and see,
for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see I have."
024:040 And then He showed them His hands and His feet.
024:041 But, while they still could not believe it for joy and were full
of astonishment, He asked them, "Have you any food here?"
024:042 And they gave Him a piece of roasted fish,
024:043 and He took it and ate it in their presence.
024:044 And He said to them, "This is what I told you while I
was still with you--that everything must be fulfilled
that is written in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets
and the Psalms concerning me."
024:045 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
024:046 and He said, "Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer
and on the third day rise again from among the dead;
024:047 and that proclamation would be made, in His name,
of repentance and forgiveness of sins to all the nations,
beginning in Jerusalem.
024:048 You are witnesses as to these things.
024:049 And remember that I am about to send out my Father's promised
gift to rest upon you. But, as for you, wait patiently
in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."
024:050 And He brought them out to within view of Bethany, and then
lifted up His hands and blessed them.
024:051 And while He was blessing them, He parted from them and was
carried up into Heaven.
024:052 They worshipped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
024:053 Afterwards they were continually in attendance at the Temple,
blessing God.
