«Chapter 24*»

While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate it in their presence.

He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”

Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, “This is what is written: THE CHRIST WILL SUFFER AND RISE FROM THE DEAD ON THE THIRD DAY, AND REPENTANCE AND FORGIVENESS OF SINS WILL BE PREACHED IN HIS NAME TO ALL NATIONS, BEGINNING AT JERUSALEM. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

Sing Praise unto God!
Creator and Savior of My Soul.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Interesting The Psalms are added.

Jesus was being thorough, with what I take to be a bit of rebuke for their slowness to understand--even as he had called the two from Emmaus "foolish" and "slow".

Greetings Dan, and hello to everyone.
Enjoy the new Spring decoration and proclamation!

So many beauties here, and many happy faces among the Disciples.

Thanks, Leon. Always enjoy your posts!

Tissot captures perfectly the unearthly moment when the disciples finally realize Who He is.

I enjoy your art comments yesterday. I read your bio and that caused me to research the current ‘degree of acceptance’ of Messianic Jews in Israel. I suppose it depends where they are, but some likely suffer for their faith. I admire their willingness to stand true to the Messiah.

Before I began posting this series 33 months ago, I had never even heard of Jacques Joseph “James” Tissot. Now he has come to occupy the very peak of Bible artists for me because, in addition to the unparalleled volume of his work, so often he is the one who most fully—and, to use your word, “perfectly”—captures the heart of the scene, the intent of the Author.

If you are a Tissot fan, I have literally hundreds more for you in the next three months.

Dan, where does the time go? Almost ready for a ‘Gallery Birthday Party’

[Hebrews 11:6]

Too self-referential, but thanks.

[SisterK]

He lives!

[Hebrews 11:6]

For all except Thomas. He and Peter carry away notoriety from these events. Mark would, too, for running away naked from Gethsemane, but he had the good sense not to identify himself, LOL.
