Κατα Λουκαν 24
1 τη δε μια των σαββατων ορθρου βαθεος ηλθον επι το μνημα φερουσαι α ητοιμασαν αρωματα και τινες συν αυταις
And, on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices they had prepared.
2 ευρον δε τον λιθον αποκεκυλισμενον απο του μνημειου
But they found the stone rolled back from the tomb,
3 και εισελθουσαι ουχ ευρον το σωμα του κυριου ιησου
and on entering they found that the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.
4 και εγενετο εν τω διαπορεισθαι αυτας περι τουτου και ιδου δυο ανδρες επεστησαν αυταις εν εσθησεσιν αστραπτουσαις
At this they were in great perplexity, when suddenly there stood by them two men whose raiment flashed like lightning.
5 εμφοβων δε γενομενων αυτων και κλινουσων το προσωπον εις την γην ειπον προς αυτας τι ζητειτε τον ζωντα μετα των νεκρων
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 ουκ εστιν ωδε αλλ ηγερθη μνησθητε ως ελαλησεν υμιν ετι ων εν τη γαλιλαια
He is not here. He has come back to life. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee,
7 λεγων οτι δει τον υιον του ανθρωπου παραδοθηναι εις χειρας ανθρωπων αμαρτωλων και σταυρωθηναι και τη τριτη ημερα αναστηναι
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 και εμνησθησαν των ρηματων αυτου
Then they remembered His words,
9 και υποστρεψασαι απο του μνημειου απηγγειλαν ταυτα παντα τοις ενδεκα και πασιν τοις λοιποις
and returning from the tomb they reported all this to the Eleven and to all the rest.
10 ησαν δε η μαγδαληνη μαρια και ιωαννα και μαρια ιακωβου και αι λοιπαι συν αυταις αι ελεγον προς τους αποστολους ταυτα
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 και εφανησαν ενωπιον αυτων ωσει ληρος τα ρηματα αυτων και ηπιστουν αυταις
But the whole story seemed to them an idle tale; they could not believe the women.
12 ο δε πετρος αναστας εδραμεν επι το μνημειον και παρακυψας βλεπει τα οθονια κειμενα μονα και απηλθεν προς εαυτον θαυμαζων το γεγονος
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 και ιδου δυο εξ αυτων ησαν πορευομενοι εν αυτη τη ημερα εις κωμην απεχουσαν σταδιους εξηκοντα απο ιερουσαλημ η ονομα εμμαους
On that same day two of the disciples were walking to Emmaus, a village seven or eight miles from Jerusalem,
14 και αυτοι ωμιλουν προς αλληλους περι παντων των συμβεβηκοτων τουτων
and were conversing about all these recent events;
15 και εγενετο εν τω ομιλειν αυτους και συζητειν και αυτος ο ιησους εγγισας συνεπορευετο αυτοις
and, in the midst of their conversation and discussion, Jesus Himself came and joined them,
16 οι δε οφθαλμοι αυτων εκρατουντο του μη επιγνωναι αυτον
though they were prevented from recognizing Him.
17 ειπεν δε προς αυτους τινες οι λογοι ουτοι ους αντιβαλλετε προς αλληλους περιπατουντες και εστε σκυθρωποι
"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 αποκριθεις δε ο εις ω ονομα κλεοπας ειπεν προς αυτον συ μονος παροικεις εν ιερουσαλημ και ουκ εγνως τα γενομενα εν αυτη εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις
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 και ειπεν αυτοις ποια οι δε ειπον αυτω τα περι ιησου του ναζωραιου ος εγενετο ανηρ προφητης δυνατος εν εργω και λογω εναντιον του θεου και παντος του λαου
"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 οπως τε παρεδωκαν αυτον οι αρχιερεις και οι αρχοντες ημων εις κριμα θανατου και εσταυρωσαν αυτον
and how our High Priests and Rulers delivered Him up to be sentenced to death, and crucified Him.
21 ημεις δε ηλπιζομεν οτι αυτος εστιν ο μελλων λυτρουσθαι τον ισραηλ αλλα γε συν πασιν τουτοις τριτην ταυτην ημεραν αγει σημερον αφ ου ταυτα εγενετο
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 αλλα και γυναικες τινες εξ ημων εξεστησαν ημας γενομεναι ορθριαι επι το μνημειον
And, besides, some of the women of our company have amazed us. They went to the tomb at daybreak,
23 και μη ευρουσαι το σωμα αυτου ηλθον λεγουσαι και οπτασιαν αγγελων εωρακεναι οι λεγουσιν αυτον ζην
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 και απηλθον τινες των συν ημιν επι το μνημειον και ευρον ουτως καθως και αι γυναικες ειπον αυτον δε ουκ ειδον
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 και αυτος ειπεν προς αυτους ω ανοητοι και βραδεις τη καρδια του πιστευειν επι πασιν οις ελαλησαν οι προφηται
"O dull-witted men," He replied, "with minds so slow to believe all that the Prophets have spoken!
26 ουχι ταυτα εδει παθειν τον χριστον και εισελθειν εις την δοξαν αυτου
Was there not a necessity for the Christ thus to suffer, and then enter into His glory?"
27 και αρξαμενος απο μωσεως και απο παντων των προφητων διηρμηνευεν αυτοις εν πασαις ταις γραφαις τα περι εαυτου
And, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them the passages in Scripture which refer to Himself.
28 και ηγγισαν εις την κωμην ου επορευοντο και αυτος προσεποιειτο πορρωτερω πορευεσθαι
When they had come near the village to which they were going, He appeared to be going further.
29 και παρεβιασαντο αυτον λεγοντες μεινον μεθ ημων οτι προς εσπεραν εστιν και κεκλικεν η ημερα και εισηλθεν του μειναι συν αυτοις
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 και εγενετο εν τω κατακλιθηναι αυτον μετ αυτων λαβων τον αρτον ευλογησεν και κλασας επεδιδου αυτοις
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 αυτων δε διηνοιχθησαν οι οφθαλμοι και επεγνωσαν αυτον και αυτος αφαντος εγενετο απ αυτων
their eyes were opened and they recognized Him. But He vanished from them.
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
"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 και ανασταντες αυτη τη ωρα υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ και ευρον συνηθροισμενους τους ενδεκα και τους συν αυτοις
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 λεγοντας οτι ηγερθη ο κυριος οντως και ωφθη σιμωνι
"Yes, it is true: the Master has come back to life. He has been seen by Simon."
35 και αυτοι εξηγουντο τα εν τη οδω και ως εγνωσθη αυτοις εν τη κλασει του αρτου
Then they related what had happened on the way, and how He had been recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
36 ταυτα δε αυτων λαλουντων αυτος ο ιησους εστη εν μεσω αυτων και λεγει αυτοις ειρηνη υμιν
While they were thus talking, He Himself stood in their midst and said, "Peace be to you!"
37 πτοηθεντες δε και εμφοβοι γενομενοι εδοκουν πνευμα θεωρειν
Startled, and in the utmost alarm, they thought they were looking at a spirit;
38 και ειπεν αυτοις τι τεταραγμενοι εστε και διατι διαλογισμοι αναβαινουσιν εν ταις καρδιαις υμων
but He said to them, "Why such alarm? And why are there such questionings in your minds?
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
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 και τουτο ειπων επεδειξεν αυτοις τας χειρας και τους ποδας
And then He showed them His hands and His feet.
41 ετι δε απιστουντων αυτων απο της χαρας και θαυμαζοντων ειπεν αυτοις εχετε τι βρωσιμον ενθαδε
But, while they still could not believe it for joy and were full of astonishment, He asked them, "Have you any food here?"
42 οι δε επεδωκαν αυτω ιχθυος οπτου μερος και απο μελισσιου κηριου
And they gave Him a piece of roasted fish,
43 και λαβων ενωπιον αυτων εφαγεν
and He took it and ate it in their presence.
44 ειπεν δε αυτοις ουτοι οι λογοι ους ελαλησα προς υμας ετι ων συν υμιν οτι δει πληρωθηναι παντα τα γεγραμμενα εν τω νομω μωσεως και προφηταις και ψαλμοις περι εμου
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 τοτε διηνοιξεν αυτων τον νουν του συνιεναι τας γραφας
Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
46 και ειπεν αυτοις οτι ουτως γεγραπται και ουτως εδει παθειν τον χριστον και αναστηναι εκ νεκρων τη τριτη ημερα
and He said, "Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and on the third day rise again from among the dead;
47 και κηρυχθηναι επι τω ονοματι αυτου μετανοιαν και αφεσιν αμαρτιων εις παντα τα εθνη αρξαμενον απο ιερουσαλημ
and that proclamation would be made, in His name, of repentance and forgiveness of sins to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem.
48 υμεις δε εστε μαρτυρες τουτων
You are witnesses as to these things.
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
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 εξηγαγεν δε αυτους εξω εως εις βηθανιαν και επαρας τας χειρας αυτου ευλογησεν αυτους
And He brought them out to within view of Bethany, and then lifted up His hands and blessed them.
51 και εγενετο εν τω ευλογειν αυτον αυτους διεστη απ αυτων και ανεφερετο εις τον ουρανον
And while He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into Heaven.
52 και αυτοι προσκυνησαντες αυτον υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ μετα χαρας μεγαλης
They worshipped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
53 και ησαν διαπαντος εν τω ιερω αινουντες και ευλογουντες τον θεον αμην
Afterwards they were continually in attendance at the Temple, blessing God.
