Luke 24
1 And on the first day of the week, very early morning, they came to the sepulcher bringing the spices that they prepared, and some women with them.
On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher.
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
3 And having entered in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it came to pass while they were bewildered about this, that behold, two men stood near them in shining apparel.
While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.
5 And since they became frightened and bowing down their face to the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
As the women bowed their faces to the ground in terror, the two men asked them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?
6 He is not here, but was raised. Remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee,
He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told 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 to rise.
‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”
8 And they remembered his sayings.
Then they remembered His words.
9 And having returned from the sepulcher, they reported all these things to the eleven, and to all the others.
And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.
10 Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles.
It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.
11 And their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they disbelieved them.
But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.
12 But having risen, Peter ran to the sepulcher. And having stooped down, he sees the linen cloths laying alone. And he departed, wondering to himself at that which happened.
Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. And after bending down and seeing only the linen cloths, he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.
13 And behold, two of them were going the same day to a village that was sixty furlongs away from Jerusalem, which name was Emmaus.
That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14 And they conversed with each other about all these things that happened.
They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.
15 And it came to pass, while they conversed and discussed, that Jesus himself also having approached, went along with them.
And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.
16 But their eyes were held, not to recognize him.
But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.
17 And he said to them, What are these words that ye toss back to each other, while walking and are looking sad.
He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.
18 And one, whose name was Cleopas, having answered, said to him, Thou only visit Jerusalem and do not know the things that happened in it during these days?
One of them, named Cleopas, asked Him, “Are You the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in recent days?”
19 And he said to them, What? And they said to him, The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who became a prophet, a mighty man in work and word before God and all the people,
“What things?” He asked. “The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people.
20 and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up for condemnation of death, and crucified him.
Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.
21 But we hoped that he is the man who is going to redeem Israel. But even with all these things, it brings this third day today from which time these things happened.
But we were hoping He was the One who would redeem Israel. And besides all this, it is the third day since these things took place.
22 But also some of our women astonished us, having come to be at the sepulcher early morning.
Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,
23 And not having found his body, they came, saying also to have seen a vision of agents who say he is alive.
but they did not find His body. They came and told us they had seen a vision of angels, who said that Jesus was alive.
24 And some of those with us went to the sepulcher, and found it this way, just as also the women said, but they did not see him.
Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”
25 And he said to them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets spoke.
Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, how slow are your hearts to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
26 Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?
Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”
27 And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things about himself.
And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.
28 And they came near to the village where they were going, and he pretended to go further.
As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.
29 And they constrained him, saying, Remain with us, because it is toward evening, and the day has declined. And he went in to remain with them.
But they pleaded with Him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So He went in to stay with them.
30 And it came to pass during his dining with them, that, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken in pieces he gave to them.
While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he became invisible from them.
Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.
32 And they said to each other, Was not our heart burning within us while he spoke to us on the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?
They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us as He spoke with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
33 And having risen up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven gathered together,
And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together
34 and those who were with them who said, The Lord really was raised, and was seen by Simon.
and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”
35 And they reported the things on the road, and how he was made known to them during the breaking of the bread.
Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.
36 And as they spoke these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and says to them, Peace to you.
While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”
37 But having been startled, and having become frightened, they presumed to see a spirit.
But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said to them, Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?
39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as ye see me having.
Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
40 And having said this, he displayed to them his hands and feet.
And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.
41 And while they still disbelieved from joy and wondering, he said to them, Have ye anything to eat here?
While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish and from a bees honeycomb.
So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,
43 And having taken it, he ate before them.
and He took it and ate it in front of them.
44 And he said to them, These are the words that I spoke to you while still being with you, that it is necessary for all things that are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms about me to be fulfilled.
Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.”
45 Then he opened their mind to understand the scriptures.
Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.
46 And 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 told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
47 and to proclaim in his name repentance and remission of sins for all the nations, having begun from Jerusalem.
and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
You are witnesses of these things.
49 And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you. But stay ye in the city until ye are clothed with power from on high.
And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
50 And he led them outside as far as to Bethany, and having lifted up his hands, he blessed them.
When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
51 And it came to pass while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was brought up into heaven.
While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.
52 And having worshiping him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53 and they were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Truly.
praising God continually in the temple.
