Luke 24
1 And on the first of the Sabbath, at the depth of the dawn, they came to the sepulcher, bearing the aromatics which they had prepared,
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, having been rolled away from the sepulcher.
And they saw that the stone had been rolled away.
3 And coming in they 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 at a loss concerning this, and behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
And while they were in doubt about it, they saw two men in shining clothing by them:
5 and they being afraid, and turning their face towards the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
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 is risen. Remember how He spoke to you, being with you 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 That it behooveth the Son of man to be delivered into the hands of sinners, and to be crucified, and to rise again on the third day.
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 having returned from the sepulcher, they proclaimed all these things to the eleven, and all 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 And Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James: and the other women with them spoke 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 appeared before them like a dream; and they doubted them.
But these words seemed foolish to them, and they had no belief in them.
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 on that day were journeying to a village, distant from Jerusalem sixty furlongs, to which was the name Emmaus:
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 conversing with one another concerning all those things which had transpired.
And they were talking together about all those things which had taken place.
15 And it came to pass, while they are talking and making inquiry, Jesus Himself also having come nigh, journeyed along with them:
And while they were talking and questioning together, Jesus himself came near and went with them.
16 and their eyes were held so as not to recognize Him.
But their eyes were not open that they might have knowledge of him.
17 And He said to them, What speeches are these which you are interchanging to one another, walking along? And they stood still, looking sad.
And he said to them, What are you talking about together while you go?
18 And one, whose name was Cleopas, said to Him, Dost thou only sojourn at Jerusalem and not know the things which have taken place in it 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? And they said to Him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet-man mighty in work and 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 How the chief priests and our rulers indeed delivered Him up to the condemnation of death, and they crucified Him.
And how the chief priests and our rulers gave him up to be put to death on the cross.
21 But we were hoping that He is the one about to redeem Israel: but truly in addition to all these things, this is the third day from which these things took place.
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 But certain women from us truly surprised us, being early at the sepulcher;
And certain women among us gave us cause for wonder, for they went early to the place where his body had been put,
23 and not seeing His body, came, saying, they had also seen a vision of angels, who say that He is 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 certain ones of those with us went away to the sepulcher, and found as the women also said: and they saw Him 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 ye foolish, and slow in heart to believe in all those things which the prophet spoke!
And he said, O foolish men! how slow you are to give belief to what the prophets have said.
26 Did it not behoove Christ to suffer, 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 expounded 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 nigh to the village, whither they were going: and He made as though 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, Abide with us: because it is at the evening, and the day has already declined. And He came in to abide 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 was reclining with them at the table, taking bread, He blessed it, and breaking it, He 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 vanished from them.
And then their eyes were open, and they had knowledge of him, but he went from their view.
32 And they said to one another, Did not our heart bum within us, while He was talking to us on the way, as He was expounding the Scriptures to us?
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 rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those with them gathered together,
And that very hour they got up and went back to Jerusalem, where the eleven and the others had come together.
34 saying, The Lord indeed is risen, and was seen by Simon.
And they said to them, The Lord has truly come back to life again, and Simon has seen him.
35 And they expounded those things on the way, and bow He was made known to them in the breaking of the 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 they speaking these things, He stood in their midst,
And while they were saying these things, he himself was among them, and said to them, Peace be with you!
37 and they being affrighted and filled with fear, thought 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 excited, and why do reasonings arise in your heart?
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 I am He: feel me; and see, because a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me having.
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.
And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his feet.
41 And they still disbelieving from joy, and wondering, He said to them, Have you here any edible?
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 baked fish:
And they gave him a bit of cooked fish.
43 and taking it, He did eat in their presence.
And before their eyes he took a meal.
44 And He said to them, These are my words which I spoke to you, being still with you, that it behooves all things which have been written concerning me in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the Psalms, to be fulfilled.
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, As it has been written, That Christ must suffer, and rise from the dead on 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 repentance unto remission of sins is to be preached in His name to all nations, beginning from 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 I send the promise of the Father upon you: and you tarry in the city, until you may be endued 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 even unto Bethany; and having lifted up His hands, He 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, while He was blessing them, He departed from them, and was carried up into heaven.
And while he was doing so, he went from them and was taken up into heaven.
52 And they returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
And they gave him worship and went back to Jerusalem with great joy.
53 and were constantly in the temple, praising God.
And they were in the Temple at all times, giving praise to God.
