# touched them This could mean ‘put his hand on them.’ Some languages may prefer to specify where he touched them. If so, this could be translated as: “he touched them on the shoulder” or “he put his hand on each one’s shoulder.” # said, “Do not be afraid. Get up.” This is direct quotation. It can also be stated as an indirect quotation: “told them not to be afraid, and to get up.” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations]]) # Do not be afraid This could also be translated as: “Stop being afraid.” # Get up This could also be translated as: “Stand up” or “Please get up.” Make sure that it sounds like Jesus spoke this with kindness. # the only one still there was Jesus It is also possible to add: “Moses and Elijah had left.”
