Luke 24:26-53
New American Standard Bible
26 (A)Was it not necessary for the [a]Christ to suffer these things and to come into His glory?” 27 Then beginning [b]with (B)Moses and [c]with all the (C)Prophets, He explained to them the things written about Himself in all the Scriptures.
28 And they approached the village where they were going, and (D)He gave the impression that He was going farther. 29 And so they strongly urged Him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is getting toward evening, and the day [d]is now nearly over.” So He went in to stay with them. 30 And it came about, when He had reclined at the table with them, that He took the bread and (E)blessed it, and He broke it and began giving it to them. 31 And then their (F)eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from [e]their sight. 32 They said to one another, “[f]Were our hearts not burning within us when He was speaking to us on the road, while He (G)was [g]explaining the Scriptures to us?” 33 And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and (H)found the eleven gathered together and (I)those who were with them, 34 saying, “(J)The Lord has really risen and (K)has appeared to Simon!” 35 They began to relate [h]their experiences on the road, and how (L)He was recognized by them at the breaking of the bread.
Other Appearances
36 Now while they were telling these things, (M)Jesus Himself suddenly stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace be to you.” 37 But they were startled and frightened, and thought that they were looking at (N)a spirit. 38 And He said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why are doubts arising in your [i]hearts? 39 (O)See My hands and My feet, that [j]it is I Myself; (P)touch Me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you plainly see that I have.” 40 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. 41 While they still [k](Q)could not believe it because of their joy and astonishment, He said to them, “(R)Have you anything here to eat?” 42 They served Him a piece of broiled fish; 43 and He took it and (S)ate it in front of them.
44 Now He said to them, “(T)These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all the things that are written about Me in the (U)Law of Moses and the Prophets and (V)the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then He (W)opened their [l]minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and He said to them, “(X)So it is written, that the [m]Christ would suffer and (Y)rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and that (Z)repentance [n]for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed [o]in His name to (AA)all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are (AB)witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, (AC)I am sending the promise of My Father upon you; but (AD)you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
The Ascension
50 And He led them out as far as (AE)Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. 51 While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven. 52 And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually in the temple [p]praising God.

New International Version
Luke 24:26-53
New International Version
26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?”(A) 27 And beginning with Moses(B) and all the Prophets,(C) he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.(D)
28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.
30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it(E) and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him,(F) and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us(G) while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures(H) to us?”
33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, “It is true! The Lord(I) has risen and has appeared to Simon.”(J) 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.(K)
Jesus Appears to the Disciples
36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”(L)
37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.(M) 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see;(N) a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.(O)
44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you:(P) Everything must be fulfilled(Q) that is written about me in the Law of Moses,(R) the Prophets(S) and the Psalms.”(T)
45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer(U) and rise from the dead on the third day,(V) 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name(W) to all nations,(X) beginning at Jerusalem.(Y) 48 You are witnesses(Z) of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised;(AA) but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
The Ascension of Jesus
50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany,(AB) he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven.(AC) 52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they stayed continually at the temple,(AD) praising God.
