24:35	Futhi bachaza izinto ezenziwa endleleni, nokuthi bamazi kanjani ekuhlephuleni isinkwa.

24:37	Nokho ngempela, they were very disturbed and terrified, supposing that they saw a spirit.
24:38	Wathi kubo: “Why are you disturbed, and why do these thoughts rise up in your hearts?
24:39	See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Look and touch. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”
24:40	Esekushilo lokho, he showed them his hands and feet.
24:41	Khona-ke, while they were still in disbelief and in wonder out of joy, uthe, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
