Luke 24
1 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.
And, on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices they had prepared.
2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
But they found the stone rolled back from the tomb,
3 They entered in, and didn’t find the Lord Jesus’ body.
and on entering they found that the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.
4 While they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.
At this they were in great perplexity, when suddenly there stood by them two men whose raiment flashed like lightning.
5 Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. The men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?
The women were terrified; but, as they stood with their faces bowed to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you search among the dead for Him who is living?
6 He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,
He is not here. He has come back to life. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee,
7 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?”
when He told you that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again."
8 They remembered his words,
Then they remembered His words,
9 returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
and returning from the tomb they reported all this to the Eleven and to all the rest.
10 Now they were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them told these things to the apostles.
The women were Mary of Magdala, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; and they and the rest of the women related all this to the Apostles.
11 These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn’t believe them.
But the whole story seemed to them an idle tale; they could not believe the women.
12 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.
Peter, however, rose and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw nothing but the linen cloths: so he went away to his own home, wondering at what had happened.
13 Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.
On that same day two of the disciples were walking to Emmaus, a village seven or eight miles from Jerusalem,
14 They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.
and were conversing about all these recent events;
15 While they talked and questioned together, Jesus himself came near, and went with them.
and, in the midst of their conversation and discussion, Jesus Himself came and joined them,
16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
though they were prevented from recognizing Him.
17 He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?”
"What is the subject," He asked them, "on which you are talking so earnestly, as you walk?" And they stood still, looking full of sorrow.
18 One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?”
Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered, "Are you a stranger lodging alone in Jerusalem, that you have known nothing of the things that have lately happened in the city?"
19 He said to them, “What things?” They said to him, “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;
"What things?" He asked. "The things about Jesus the Nazarene," they said, "who was a Prophet powerful in work and word before God and all the people;
20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
and how our High Priests and Rulers delivered Him up to be sentenced to death, and crucified Him.
21 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.
But we were hoping that it was He who was about to ransom Israel. Yes, and moreover it was the day before yesterday that these things happened.
22 Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;
And, besides, some of the women of our company have amazed us. They went to the tomb at daybreak,
23 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.
and, finding that His body was not there, they came and declared to us 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 like the women had said, but they didn’t see him.”
Thereupon some of our party went to the tomb and found things just as the women had said; but Jesus Himself they did not see."
25 He said to them, “Foolish people, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
"O dull-witted men," He replied, "with minds so slow to believe all that the Prophets have spoken!
26 Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?”
Was there not a necessity for the Christ thus to suffer, and then enter into His glory?"
27 Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
And, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them the passages in Scripture which refer to Himself.
28 They came near to the village where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.
When they had come near the village to which they were going, He appeared to be going further.
29 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.
But they pressed Him to remain with them. "Because," said they, "it is getting towards evening, and the day is nearly over." So He went in to stay with them.
30 When he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave it to them.
But as soon as He had sat down with them, and had taken the bread and had blessed and broken it, and was handing it to them,
31 Their eyes were opened and they recognized him; then he vanished out of their sight.
their eyes were opened and they recognized Him. But He vanished from them.
32 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?”
"Were not our hearts," they said to one another, "burning within us while He talked to us on the way and explained the Scriptures to us?"
33 They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
So they rose and without an hour's delay returned to Jerusalem, and found the Eleven and the rest met together, who said to them,
34 saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”
"Yes, it is true: the Master has come back to life. He has been seen by Simon."
35 They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
Then they related what had happened on the way, and how He had been recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
36 As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”
While they were thus talking, He Himself stood in their midst and said, "Peace be to you!"
37 But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
Startled, and in the utmost alarm, they thought they were looking at a spirit;
38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?
but He said to them, "Why such alarm? And why are there such questionings in your minds?
39 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.”
See my hands and my feet--it is my very self. Feel me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see I have."
40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
And then He showed them His hands and His feet.
41 While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
But, while they still could not believe it for joy and were full of astonishment, He asked them, "Have you any food here?"
42 They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
And they gave Him a piece of roasted fish,
43 He took them, and ate in front of them.
and He took it and ate it in their presence.
44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms concerning me must be fulfilled.”
And He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you--that everything must be fulfilled that is written in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and the Psalms concerning me."
45 Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.
Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
46 He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,
and He said, "Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and on the third day rise again from among the dead;
47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
and that proclamation would be made, in His name, of repentance and forgiveness of sins to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
You are witnesses as to these things.
49 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.”
And remember that I am about to send out my Father's promised gift to rest upon you. But, as for you, wait patiently in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."
50 He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
And He brought them out to within view of Bethany, and then lifted up His hands and blessed them.
51 While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.
And while He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into Heaven.
52 They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
They worshipped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
53 and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
Afterwards they were continually in attendance at the Temple, blessing God.
