HILE the  apostles  and  disciples  were  thus  assembled together in  a room  in  Jerusalem,  the  doors  of  which were closed,  Jesus  came  and  stood  in  their  midst,  saying  to them:  “Peace  be  to  you! It is  I,  fear  not!”  They  trembled with fear,  thinking  it  was  a spirit. But He  said  to  them:  “Why are you  troubled? See My  Hands  and  Feet! A spirit hath  not flesh and  bones  as  you  see  Me  to  have.”  Then  He  showed  them His Hands,  His  Feet,  and  His  Side. But they  still  wondered , and were  scarcely  able  to  believe  their  senses,  when  Jesus  asked: “Have ye  here  anything  to  eat?”  They  gave  Him  broiled  fish and some  honeycomb. And when  He  had  eaten  in  their  presence, He took  what  remained,  and  gave  it  to  them. “Then He  opened their understanding  that  they  might  understand  the  Scriptures.”
