And He said to them: “Why are you
troubled? And why do doubts arise
in your hearts? Behold My Hands
and My Feet, that it is I, Myself.
Handle Me and see, for a spirit does
not have flesh and bones as you
can see I have.”
when He had said this, He showed
them His Hands and His Feet.
since they still did not believe for
Joy and Marvelling, He said to them:
“Have you any food here?”
gave Him a piece of broiled fish
and some honeycomb, and He took it
and ate in their presence.
which I spoke to you while I was
still with you, that all things must
be fulfilled which were written in
the Law of Moses and the Prophets
and the Psalms concerning Me.”
Then He opened their Understanding,
so that they might comprehend the
Scriptures.
And He said to them: “Thus it is
written, and thus it was necessary
for the Christ to suffer and to Rise
from the dead on the Third Day,
and that Repentance and Remission
of sins should be preached in His
Name to all Nations, beginning at
Jerusalem. And you are Witnesses
of these Things. Behold, I send the
Promise of My Father upon you; but
remain in the city of Jerusalem
until you are endued with Power
from on High.”
He led them out as far as Bethany, and
He lifted up His Hands and Blessed
them.
And while He Blessed them He was
parted from them and carried up
into Heaven.
they worshipped Him, and
returned to Jerusalem with great Joy,
and were continually in the Temple
Praising and Blessing God.
Amen.

Death have razed. So, avidly we

Thou Saved us, as the God of all
