Luke 24
1 Very early on the first day of the week, the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they'd prepared.
But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they and some others came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
2 They found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance to the tomb,
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
3 but when they went in they didn't find the body of the Lord Jesus.
They entered in, and didn’t find the Lord Yeshua’s body.
4 While they were wondering what was going on, two men suddenly appeared dressed in clothes that shone brilliantly.
While they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.
5 The women were terrified and bowed down, their faces on the ground. They said to the women, “Why are you looking for someone who is alive among the dead?
Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. The men said to them, “Why do you seek the living amongst the dead?
6 He's not here; he's risen from the dead! Remember what he told you while you were still in Galilee:
He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,
7 ‘The Son of man must be betrayed into the hands of evil men, be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”
saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again?”
8 Then they remembered what he'd said.
They remembered his words,
9 When they returned from the tomb they reported all that had happened to the eleven disciples and to all the others.
returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the Eleven and to all the rest.
10 Those who told the apostles what had happened were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and other women with them.
Now they were Miriam Magdalene, Yochanah, and Miriam the mother of Jacob. The other women with them told these things to the emissaries.
11 But it seemed like nonsense to them, so they didn't believe the women.
These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn’t believe them.
12 However, Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Bending down, he looked in and saw only the linen grave-clothes. So he went back home, wondering what had happened.
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.
13 The same day two disciples were on their way to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.
14 They were talking about all that had happened.
They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.
15 As they discussed and debated, Jesus came up and fell into step with them.
While they talked and questioned together, Yeshua himself came near, and went with them.
16 But they were kept from recognizing him.
But their eyes were kept from recognising him.
17 “What are you discussing as you walk along?” he asked them. They stopped, their faces sad.
He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?”
18 One of them, called Cleopas, replied, “Are you just visiting Jerusalem? You must be the only person who doesn't know the things that have happened in the past few days.”
One of them, named Klofah, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?”
19 “What things?” Jesus asked. “About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet who spoke powerfully and performed great miracles before God and all the people.
He said to them, “What things?” They said to him, “The things concerning Yeshua the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;
20 But our high priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified him.
and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
21 We had hoped he was the one who was going to rescue Israel. It's been three days now since all this happened.
But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.
22 But then some of the women in our group surprised us.
Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;
23 At dawn they went to the tomb and they didn't find his body. They came back saying that they'd seen a vision of angels who told them he's alive.
and when they didn’t find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
24 Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women said—but they didn't see him.”
Some of us went to the tomb and found it just like the women had said, but they didn’t see him.”
25 Jesus told them, “You're so dull! How slow you are to trust in all that the prophets said!
He said to them, “Foolish people, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
26 Didn't the Messiah have to suffer before he could enter into his glory?”
Didn’t the Messiah have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?”
27 Then, starting with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them everything that was said in Scripture about himself.
Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 As they approached the village they were going to, Jesus made it seem as if he was going farther.
They came near to the village where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.
29 But they urged him, saying, “Please come and stay with us. It's getting late—the day is almost over.” So he went to stay with them.
They urged him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over.” He went in to stay with them.
30 When he sat down to eat with them, he took the bread and gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them.
When he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave it to them.
31 Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. Then he disappeared from view.
Their eyes were opened and they recognised him; then he vanished out of their sight.
32 The two disciples said to each other, “Weren't our thoughts on fire when he spoke to us, as he explained the Scriptures to us?”
They said to one another, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?”
33 They got up right away and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven disciples and those who were with them meeting together,
They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
34 who said, “The Lord has really risen again! He has appeared to Simon.”
saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”
35 Then those who had just arrived explained to the other disciples what had happened to them on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus when he broke bread.
They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognised by them in the breaking of the bread.
36 While they were talking, Jesus himself stood among them, and said, “Peace to you!”
As they said these things, Yeshua himself stood amongst them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”
37 They were startled and afraid, thinking they were seeing a ghost.
But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 “Why are you frightened? Why are you doubting?” he asked them.
He said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?
39 “Look at my hands and my feet—you can see it's me. Touch me and you'll be certain, for a spirit doesn't have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”
40 Having said this, he showed them his hands and feet.
When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41 But they still couldn't believe it because they were so elated and amazed. He asked them, “Do you have anything to eat?”
While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
42 They gave him a piece of cooked fish,
They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
43 and he took it and ate it in front of them.
He took them, and ate in front of them.
44 Then Jesus said to them, “This is what I explained to you while I was still with you. Everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, had to be fulfilled.”
He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the Torah of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms concerning me must be fulfilled.”
45 Then he opened their minds so they were able to understand the Scriptures.
Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.
46 He told them, “It was written like this: the Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and in his name
He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Messiah to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,
47 repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be preached to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.
and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses of all this.
You are witnesses of these things.
49 Now I'm going to send you what my Father promised—but wait in the city until you receive power from heaven.”
Behold, I send out the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”
50 Then he led them out until they were near Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
51 While he was blessing them, he left them, and was taken up to heaven.
While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.
52 They worshiped him, and then they returned to Jerusalem full of joy.
They worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53 They spent all their time in the Temple praising God.
and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
