Luke 24
1 And on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the sepulcher, bringing the spices which they had prepared; and with them came certain others.
But on the first day of the week, at dawn, they came to the place where his body had been put, taking the spices which they had got ready.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher;
And they saw that the stone had been rolled away.
3 and they entered in, but found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
And they went in, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.
4 And it came to pass, while they were much perplexed at this, behold, two men stood by them in shining raiment.
And while they were in doubt about it, they saw two men in shining clothing by them:
5 And while they feared and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them: Why seek you among the dead for him that lives?
And while their faces were bent down to the earth in fear, these said to them, Why are you looking for the living among the dead?
6 He is not here, but he has risen; remember that he spoke to you while he was yet in Galilee,
He is not here, he has come back to life: have in mind what he said to you when he was still in Galilee, saying,
7 saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
The Son of man will be given up into the hands of evil-doers, and be put to death on the cross, and on the third day he will come back to life.
8 And they remembered his words,
And his words came back into their minds,
9 and returned from the sepulcher, and told all these things to the eleven and to the rest.
And they went away from that place and gave an account of all these things to the eleven disciples and all the others.
10 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James, and the others with them, that told these things to the apostles.
Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James: and the other women with them said these things to the Apostles.
11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
But these words seemed foolish to them, and they had no belief in them.
12 But Peter arose and ran to the sepulcher, and stooping down, he saw the linen clothes lying by themselves; and he departed, wondering in himself at that which had come to pass.
But Peter got up and went to the place where the body had been put, and looking in he saw nothing but the linen cloths, and he went to his house full of wonder at what had taken place.
13 And, behold, two of them were going, on the same day, to a village called Emmaus, distant from Jerusalem sixty furlongs.
And then, two of them, on that very day, were going to a little town named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14 And they were talking to one another about all these things which had taken place.
And they were talking together about all those things which had taken place.
15 And it came to pass, that, while they conversed and reasoned together, Jesus himself drew near, and went on with them.
And while they were talking and questioning together, Jesus himself came near and went with them.
16 But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not recognize him.
But their eyes were not open that they might have knowledge of him.
17 And he said to them: What matters are these which you are discussing with one another as you walk and are sad?
And he said to them, What are you talking about together while you go?
18 And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered and said to him: Are you only a stranger in Jerusalem, and have not known the things that have taken place there in these days?
Then stopping, and looking sadly at him, one of them, named Cleopas, said to him, Are you the only man living in Jerusalem who has not had news of the things which have taken place there at this time?
19 And he said to them: What things? They said to him: The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and in word before God and all the people;
And he said to them, What things? And they said, The things to do with Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, great in his acts and his words, 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 the chief priests and our rulers gave him up to be put to death on the cross.
21 But we trusted that it was he that was about to redeem Israel. And besides all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done.
But we were hoping that he would be the Saviour of Israel. In addition to all this he has now let three days go by from the time when these things took place;
22 And further, certain women of our company, who were early at the sepulcher, astonished us:
And certain women among us gave us cause for wonder, for they went early to the place where his body had been put,
23 for they found not his body, and came and told that they had seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
And it was not there; then they came saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was living.
24 And some of those who were with us went to the sepulcher, and found it even as the women had said, but him they saw not.
And some of those who were with us went to the place, and saw that it was as the women had said, but him they did not see.
25 And he said to them: O inconsiderate, and slow of heart to believe all things that the prophets have spoken!
And he said, O foolish men! how slow you are to give belief to what the prophets have said.
26 Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
Was it not necessary for the Christ to go through these things, and to come into his glory?
27 And beginning from Moses, and all the prophets, he explained to them, in all the Scriptures, the things concerning himself.
And he made clear to them all the things in the Writings, from Moses and from all the prophets, which had to do with himself.
28 And they drew near the village to which they were going; and he made as if he would go further.
And they came near the town to which they were going, and he seemed as if he was going on;
29 And they constrained him, saying: Remain with us, for it is near the evening, and the day has declined. And he went in to remain with them.
But they kept him back, saying, Do not go, for evening is near, the day is almost gone. And he went in with them.
30 And it came to pass, while he reclined at table with them, that he took bread and blessed; and he broke, and gave it to them.
And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he disappeared from them.
And then their eyes were open, and they had knowledge of him, but he went from their view.
32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
And they said to one another, Were not our hearts burning in us while he was talking to us on the way, making clear to us the holy Writings?
33 And they arose the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven, and those who were with them, assembled,
And that very hour they got up and went back to Jerusalem, where the eleven and the others had come together.
34 and saying: The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon.
And they said to them, The Lord has truly come back to life again, and Simon has seen him.
35 And they told what had taken place on the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread.
And they gave an account of the things which had taken place on the way, and how, when he gave them bread, they had knowledge of him.
36 And while they were speaking of these things, Jesus him self stood in the midst of them, and said to them: Peace be to you.
And while they were saying these things, he himself was among them, and said to them, Peace be with you!
37 But they were terrified and frightened, and thought that they saw a spirit.
But they were full of fear, being of the opinion that they were seeing a spirit.
38 And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?
And he said to them, Why are you troubled, and why are your hearts full of doubt?
39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me have.
See; my hands and my feet: it is I myself; put your hands on me and make certain; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.
40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his feet.
41 And while they did not believe as yet for joy, and were astonished, he said to them: Have you any thing here to eat?
And because, for joy and wonder, they were still in doubt, he said to them, Have you any food here?
42 And they gave him a piece of broiled fish, and of a honeycomb.
And they gave him a bit of cooked fish.
43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
And before their eyes he took a meal.
44 And he said to them: These are the words that I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled that are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
And he said to them, These are the words which I said to you when I was still with you, how it was necessary for all the things which are in the writings of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms about me, to be put into effect.
45 Then he opened their mind, that they might understand the scriptures,
Then he made the holy Writings clear to their minds.
46 and he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus was it necessary that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day,
And he said to them, So it is in the Writings that the Christ would undergo death, and come back to life again on the third day;
47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
And that teaching about a change of heart and forgiveness of sins is to be given to Jerusalem first and to all nations in his name.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
You are witnesses of these things.
49 And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you. But do you remain in the city of Jerusalem, till you be clothed with power from on high.
And now I will send to you what my father has undertaken to give you, but do not go from the town, till the power from heaven comes to you.
50 And he led them out as far as Bethany; and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
And he took them out till they were near Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he gave them a blessing.
51 And it came to pass, that as he blessed them, he was separated from them, and carried up into heaven.
And while he was doing so, he went from them and was taken up into heaven.
52 And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy;
And they gave him worship and went back to Jerusalem with great joy.
53 and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.
And they were in the Temple at all times, giving praise to God.
