When Jesus met with His disciples, He reminded them of the words He had spoken to them before His death, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms concerning Him. "Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures, and said unto them, Thus it is 805 written, and thus it behooved 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 among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things."

Da blev de grebet af angst og frygt og mente, det var en ånd, de så. Men han sagde til dem: Hvorfor er I forfærdede? og hvorfor opstiger der tvivl i jeres hjerter? Se på mine hænder og mine fødder, at det er mig selv; føl på mig og se; en ånd har jo ikke kød og ben, som I ser, jeg har. Og da han havde sagt dette, viste han dem sine hænder og sine fødder.
