Luke 24:36 through Luke 24:48 (NIV)
36While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and
said to them, “Peace be with you.”
37They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38He said to
them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39Look 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.”
40When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41And while they
still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you
have anything here to eat?” 42They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43and he
took it and ate it in their presence.
44He 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.”
45Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46He told
them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on
the third day, 47and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his
name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48You are witnesses of these
things.
Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
VERSES 36-49
Jesus appeared in a miraculous manner, assuring the disciples of his peace,
though they had so lately forsaken him, and promising spiritual peace with every
blessing. Many troublesome thoughts which disquiet our minds, rise from mistakes
concerning Christ. All the troublesome thoughts which rise in our hearts at any
time, are known to the Lord Jesus, and are displeasing to him. He spake with
them on their unreasonable unbelief. Nothing had passed but what was foretold by
the prophets, and necessary for the salvation of sinners. And now all men should
be taught the nature and necessity of repentance, in order to the forgiveness of
their sins. And these blessings were to be sought for, by faith in the name of
Jesus. Christ by his Spirit works on the minds of men. Even good men need to
have their understandings opened. But that we may have right thoughts of Christ,
there needs no more than to be made to understand the Scriptures.
