When the resurrected Lord appeared to his startled disciples, He -vs. 36- speaks to calms their fears -vs 39- shows them his wounds to confirm it really is himself, -vs 41-43- eats food to prove he is not a ghost, -vs 44-47-opens their minds to understand Scriptures, and -vs 48-49-sends them out as witnesses. Who He was, represented who they and every believer one day will be in the resurrection.
