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 Sabbath Day they rested in obedience to the commandment, but in the deep dawn of the first day of the week they took the spices which they had prepared, and came to the tomb.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher.
And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
3 And having entered in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
and on entering 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 still perplexed over this, it happened that the two men stood near them in dazzling raiment.
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?
They were terrified, and bowed down their faces to the ground, but the men said to them. "Why are you seeking him who lives 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 is risen. Do you remember how he told you when 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.
that the Son of man had to be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and to rise on the third day?"
8 And they remembered his sayings.
Then they recollected his words,
9 And having returned from the sepulcher, they reported all these things to the eleven, and to all the others.
and turning away from the tomb they told all this to the eleven, and to all the rest.
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, and Mary, the mother of James, and the rest of the women who were telling all this to the apostles.
11 And their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they disbelieved them.
But the whole story seemed to them but an idle tale; and they disbelieved 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, but when he stooped and looked in he saw the linen wrappings by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass.
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.
On that same day two of his disciples were walking to Emmaus, a village about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14 And they conversed with each other about all these things that happened.
They were talking together about all these events,
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 discussed matter, Jesus himself drew near and began walking beside them.
16 But their eyes were held, not to recognize him.
But their eyes continued to be held that they should not recognize him even for an instant,
17 And he said to them, What are these words that ye toss back to each other, while walking and are looking sad.
And he said to them, "What words are these that you are exchanging one with another, as you walk along?"
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?
They stood still, looking sad. And one of them named Cleopas, answered him, "Do you sojourn alone in Jerusalem, that you do not know what things have been happening there these 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 kind of things?" he answered. And they said. "The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;
20 and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up for condemnation of death, and crucified him.
"and how our high priest and ruler delivered him to be condemned to death and 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 that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this is the third day since these things happened.
22 But also some of our women astonished us, having come to be at the sepulcher early morning.
"Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They went to his tomb at daybreak,
23 And not having found his body, they came, saying also to have seen a vision of agents who say he is alive.
"and found that his body was not there; then they came and told us that besides they had seen a vision of angels, who said that he 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.
"Thereupon some of our own party to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said, 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.
"O foolish men," said Jesus, "slow of heart 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?
"Behooved it not the Christ to suffer thus, and then to enter into 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 the Prophets, he interpreted all the passages concerning himself.
28 And they came near to the village where they were going, and he pretended to go further.
When they drew near to the village to which they are were going, he appeared 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 urged him to stay with them, saying, "Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent."
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.
So he went in to stay with them. But as he sat down with them, and took bread, and had blessed and broken it, and was handing it to them,
31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he became invisible from them.
their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished out of 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?
"Were not our hearts burning within us," they said to each other, "while we were talking with him on the way, and he was opening to us the scriptures?"
33 And having risen up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven gathered together,
So they rose and returned to Jerusalem that very hour, and found the Eleven and the others all met together,
34 and those who were with them who said, The Lord really was raised, and was seen by Simon.
saying, "The Lord is really 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 they began to tell what happened on the road, and he was known to them when he broke 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 yet speaking he stood among them and said, "Peace be to you!"
37 But having been startled, and having become frightened, they presumed to see a spirit.
They were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost.
38 And he said to them, Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
And he said to them. "Why are you disturbed? And why do questions rise 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! Feel me and see; for a ghost has not flesh and blood as I have."
40 And having said this, he displayed to them his hands and feet.
Then 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?
But while they still did not believe it for joy, and were filled with wonder, he asked them, "Have you 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 their presence.
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.
Then he said to them, "These are my words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, how all things must be fulfilled which are written in the Law of Moses, and the prophets, and the Psalms concerning me."
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 said. "Thus it is written that the Christ should suffer and rise again from the dead, the third day;
47 and to proclaim in his name repentance and remission of sins for all the nations, having begun from Jerusalem.
"and that repentance unto remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
"You must bear testimony to this.
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 I will send forth the promise of my Father upon you. But tarry in Jerusalem until you are 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.
And he led them out until they were over against Bethany; and 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.
And it happened that while he was blessing them, that he parted from them and was carried 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.
and were continually in the temple, blessing God.
