Then He appeared to 10 of the Apostles
The two men from the road to Emmaus found the disciples and were told that He had appeared to the women and now to Simon Peter. The two related how He walked with them, then vanished before their eyes. Meanwhile the doors were locked since the disciples were afraid that they might be crucified next. But suddenly, Jesus stood in their midst and said, “May you have peace.”
And they were terrified, thinking He was a ghost. So He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why is it that doubts come up in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; feel me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones just as you behold that I have.”
And as He said that to them, He showed them His hands and His feet. Consumed with sheer joy, they were rejoicing and He said to them, “Do you have something here to eat?”And they handed Him a piece of broiled fish – which He ate while they watched. Then, He told them, “These are my words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all the things written in the law of Moses and in the Prophets and Psalms about me must be fulfilled.”
The Bible says that He opened up their minds fully to grasp the meaning of the Scriptures, and He said to them, “In this way it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from among the dead on the third day, and on the basis of His name repentance for forgiveness of sins would be preached in all the nations -- starting out from Jerusalem, you are to be witnesses of these things. And, look! I am sending forth upon you that which is promised by my Father. Wait here until you receive power from on high. You will be guided by Holy Spirit, make sure you listen and receive it. If you forgive the sins of anyone, they stand forgiven .”
But Thomas was not with them when Jesus came. When he returned, the other disciples exclaimed, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails and stick my hand into His side, I will certainly not believe.”
