And behold: at once some of the
Scribes said within themselves: “He
Blasphemes!”
And Jesus – knowing their thoughts –
said: “Why do you think evil in your
heart? For which is easier: to say:
‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to
say: ‘Arise, and walk?’ But that you
may know that the Son of Man has
Power on earth to forgive sins...”
He said to the Paralytic: “Take up your
bed, and go to your house.”
And he stood up, and departed to his
house.

...And they told about the things that
had happened on the road, and how
Jesus was known to them by the
breaking of the bread.
As they said these things, Jesus Himself
stood in the midst of them, and said
to them: “Peace to you!”
They were terrified and frightened, and
thought they had seen a spirit.
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

presence He ate it.
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 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.”
