4 While they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.
And it came to pass, as they were in the greatest perplexity concerning this matter, then behold, two men stood by them in refulgent garments:

6 He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,

12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.

17 He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?”
And he said unto them, What are these discourses that ye interchange among you, as ye are walking, and bear such a face of dejection?
18 One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?”
Then one of them, named Cleopas, answering said, Art thou the only sojourner at Jerusalem, who hath not known the singular events of those days?
19 He said to them, “What things?” They said to him, “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;

And they said to each other, Did not our hearts burn within us, as he talked with us on the road, and as he distinctly opened to us the scriptures?

And thus speaking, he exposed to them his hands and his feet.
41 While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
But when they still could not credit it for joy, and marvelled, he said unto them, Have ye here any thing eatable?
42 They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
Then they gave him a part of a broiled fish, and a piece of honey-comb.
43 He took them, and ate in front of them.
And receiving it, he did eat in their presence.
44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms concerning me must be fulfilled.”
And said unto them, These are the sayings which I spake unto you, when I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me.

Then opened he thoroughly their understanding, that they should understand the scriptures,
