🌙 36 - As they were talking these things over, Jesus himself stood among them, and said, “Peace to you.”

     37 This startled them! And they were frightened for they thought they were seeing a ghost.

     38 And he said, “Why are you troubled? And doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Look at my hands and feet. And see that it’s I myself. Touch me, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones. As you can see I have.” 40 And while he was saying this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

     41 While they were in wonder, but for joy not quite able to believe, he asked, “Have you anything to eat?” 42 So they gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he ate it there with them.

     44 Then he said, “This is what I told you, that what’s written about me in the Law of Moses, in the Prophets, and in the Psalms, is to be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scripture. 46 And he said, “This is what’s written, that the Christ would suffer, and would rise from the dead [nekros - dead, deceased, lifeless, without life] on the third day. 47 And that repentance [metanoia - a change of mind, change in the inner person, a turning away and to] would be proclaimed, in Messiah/Christ’s name, to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem, of repentance/turning, heralded for forgiveness” [for aphesis - forgiveness, release, remission, cancel of debt, struck from the record, complete pardon] of sins [hamartia - missing the mark]. {The conundrum being God iS Life, and “is Perfect” Mt.5:48.}

     48 And he said to them, “You are witnesses of all this.”
