26 ουχι ταυτα εδει παθειν τον χριστον και εισελθειν εις την δοξαν αυτου; 27 και αρξαμενος απο μωυσεως και απο παντων των προφητων διηρμηνευεν αυτοις εν πασαις ταις γραφαις τα περι εαυτου. 28 και ηγγισαν εις την κωμην ου επορευοντο, και αυτος προσεποιειτο πορρωτερω πορευεσθαι· 29 και παρεβιασαντο αυτον λεγοντες· μεινον μεθ ημων, οτι προς εσπεραν εστιν και κεκλικεν η ημερα. και εισηλθεν του μειναι συν αυτοις. 30 και εγενετο εν τω κατακλιθηναι αυτον μετ αυτων λαβων τον αρτον ευλογησεν, και κλασας επεδιδου αυτοις. 31 αυτων δε διηνοιχθησαν οι οφθαλμοι, και επεγνωσαν αυτον· και αυτος αφαντος εγενετο απ αυτων. 32 και ειπον προς αλληλους· ουχι η καρδια ημων καιομενη ην εν ημιν, ως ελαλει ημιν εν τη οδω και ως διηνοιγεν ημιν τας γραφας; 33 και ανασταντες αυτη τη ωρα υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ, και ευρον συνηθροισμενους τους ενδεκα και τους συν αυτοις, 34 λεγοντας οτι ηγερθη ο κυριος οντως και ωφθη σιμωνι. 35 και αυτοι εξηγουντο τα εν τη οδω και ως εγνωσθη αυτοις εν τη κλασει του αρτου. 36 ταυτα δε αυτων λαλουντων αυτος ο ιησους εστη εν μεσω αυτων και λεγει αυτοις· ειρηνη υμιν. 37 πτοηθεντες δε και εμφοβοι γενομενοι εδοκουν πνευμα θεωρειν. 38 και ειπεν αυτοις· τι τεταραγμενοι εστε, και διατι διαλογισμοι αναβαινουσιν εν ταις καρδιαις υμων; 39 ιδετε τας χειρας μου και τους ποδας μου, οτι αυτος εγω ειμι· ψηλαφησατε με και ιδετε, οτι πνευμα σαρκα και οστεα ουκ εχει καθως εμε θεωρειτε εχοντα. 40 και τουτο ειπων επεδειξεν αυτοις τας χειρας και τους ποδας. 41 ετι δε απιστουντων αυτων απο της χαρας και θαυμαζοντων ειπεν αυτοις· εχετε τι βρωσιμον ενθαδε; 42 οι δε επεδωκαν αυτω ιχθυος οπτου μερος και απο μελισσιου κηριου, 43 και λαβων ενωπιον αυτων εφαγεν. 44 ειπεν δε αυτοις· ουτοι οι λογοι ους ελαλησα προς υμας ετι ων συν υμιν, οτι δει πληρωθηναι παντα τα γεγραμμενα εν τω νομω μωυσεως και προφηταις και ψαλμοις περι εμου. 45 τοτε διηνοιξεν αυτων τον νουν του συνιεναι τας γραφας, 46 και ειπεν αυτοις οτι ουτως γεγραπται και ουτως εδει παθειν τον χριστον και αναστηναι εκ νεκρων τη τριτη ημερα, 47 και κηρυχθηναι επι τω ονοματι αυτου μετανοιαν και αφεσιν αμαρτιων εις παντα τα εθνη, αρξαμενον απο ιερουσαλημ. 48 υμεις δε εστε μαρτυρες τουτων. 49 και ιδου εγω αποστελλω την επαγγελιαν του πατρος μου εφ υμας· υμεις δε καθισατε εν τη πολει ιερουσαλημ εως ου ενδυσησθε δυναμιν εξ υψους. 50 εξηγαγεν δε αυτους εξω εως εις βηθανιαν, και επαρας τας χειρας αυτου ευλογησεν αυτους. 51 και εγενετο εν τω ευλογειν αυτον αυτους διεστη απ αυτων και ανεφερετο εις τον ουρανον. 52 και αυτοι προσκυνησαντες αυτον υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ μετα χαρας μεγαλης, 53 και ησαν δια παντος εν τω ιερω αινουντες και ευλογουντες τον θεον. αμην.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

This is peace indeed, and the salutation of salvation: for the very word salutation has received its name from salvation. And what can be better than that Salvation Itself should salute man? For Christ is our Salvation.

let the heretics be silenced who speak against His humanity, for they speak against Him, who saith, Handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

His running to the fig-tree, His shrinking, that is, His drawing back, His praying, and His making as though He would have gone further For neither as God nor as man was He in need of these or similar things, but only because His form was that of a man as necessity and expediency demanded.
