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.
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 they entered in, but found not 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 much perplexed at this, behold, two men stood by them in shining raiment.
While they were still perplexed over this, it happened that the two men stood near them in dazzling raiment.
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?
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 he has risen; remember that he spoke to you while he was yet in Galilee,
"He is not here; he is risen. Do you remember how he told you when he was still in Galilee
7 saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
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 words,
Then they recollected his words,
9 and returned from the sepulcher, and told all these things to the eleven and to the rest.
and turning away from the tomb they told all this to the eleven, and to all the rest.
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.
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 words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
But the whole story seemed to them but an idle tale; and they disbelieved the women.
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.
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, on the same day, to a village called Emmaus, distant from Jerusalem sixty furlongs.
On that same day two of his disciples were walking to Emmaus, a village about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14 And they were talking to one another about all these things which had taken place.
They were talking together about all these events,
15 And it came to pass, that, while they conversed and reasoned together, Jesus himself drew near, and went on with them.
and as they talked and discussed matter, Jesus himself drew near and began walking beside them.
16 But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not 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 matters are these which you are discussing with one another as you walk and are sad?
And he said to them, "What words are these that you are exchanging one with another, as you walk along?"
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?
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 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;
"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 the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
"and how our high priest and ruler delivered him to be condemned to death and crucified him.
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 it was he who should redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this is the third day since these things happened.
22 And further, certain women of our company, who were early at the sepulcher, astonished us:
"Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They went to his tomb at daybreak,
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 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 who were with us went to the sepulcher, and found it even as the women had said, but him they saw not.
"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 inconsiderate, and slow of heart to believe all things that the prophets have spoken!
"O foolish men," said Jesus, "slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
26 Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
"Behooved it not the Christ to suffer thus, and then to enter into his glory?"

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 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, while he reclined at table with them, that he took bread and blessed; and he broke, and gave it 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 disappeared from them.
their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight.
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?
"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 they arose the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven, and those who were with them, assembled,
So they rose and returned to Jerusalem that very hour, and found the Eleven and the others all met together,
34 and saying: The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon.
saying, "The Lord is really risen, and has appeared to Simon!"
35 And they told what had taken place on the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread.
Then they began to tell what happened on the road, and he was known to them when he broke the bread.
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.
While they were yet speaking he stood among them and said, "Peace be to you!"
37 But they were terrified and frightened, and thought that they saw a spirit.
They were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost.
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 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; for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me have.
"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 when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
Then he showed them his hands and 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?
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 broiled fish, and of a honeycomb.
So they gave him a piece of broiled fish,
43 And he took it, and did eat 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 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.
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, that they might understand the scriptures,
Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
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. "Thus it is written that the Christ should suffer and rise again from the dead, 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 repentance unto remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
"You must bear testimony to this.
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 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 out as far as Bethany; and he lifted up his hands and 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, that as he blessed them, he was separated from them, and carried up into heaven.
And it happened that while he was blessing them, that he parted from them and was carried into heaven.
52 And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy;
