"Thus it is written that Christ would suffer, that he would rise from the dead on the third day" 

A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To Luke (24, 35-48) 

At that time, the disciples returning from Emmaus were telling the eleven Apostles and their companions what had happened on the road, and how the Lord had made himself known by them at the breaking of bread.

As they were still talking about it, he himself was present among them, and said to them: “Peace be with you! Seized with fear and fear, they thought they saw a spirit. Jesus said to them, “Why are you upset? And why these thoughts that arise in your heart? See my hands and my feet: it's me! Touch me, look: a spirit has no flesh and bones as you see I have. After that, he showed them his hands and feet. In their joy, they did not yet dare to believe it, and remained seized with astonishment. Jesus said to them, “Do you have something to eat here? They presented him with a slice of grilled fish which he took and ate in front of them. Then he said to them: “These are the words I spoke to you when I was still with you: “Everything that has been written about me in the law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” So he opened their minds to understanding the Scriptures. He said to them: "Thus it is written that Christ would suffer, that he would rise from the dead on the third day, and that conversion would be proclaimed in his name, for the forgiveness of sins, to all nations, in starting with Jerusalem. It's up to you to be the witnesses. " It's up to you to be the witnesses. " It's up to you to be the witnesses. "
