< Luke 24 >

1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
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,
2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
And they found the stone, having been rolled away from the sepulcher.
3 They entered in, and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
And coming in they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 It happened, while they were greatly perplexed about this, look, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.
And it came to pass, while they were at a loss concerning this, and behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
5 Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. They said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?
and they being afraid, and turning their face towards the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
6 He is not here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,
He is not here, but He is risen. Remember how He spoke to you, being with you 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 rise again?"
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.
8 Then they remembered his words.
And they remembered His words.
9 And returning from the tomb, they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
And having returned from the sepulcher, they proclaimed all these things to the eleven, and 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.
And Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James: and the other women with them spoke these things to the apostles.
11 These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they did not believe them.
And their words appeared before them like a dream; and they doubted them.
12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.
13 And look, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.
And behold, two of them on that day were journeying to a village, distant from Jerusalem sixty furlongs, to which was the name Emmaus:
14 They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.
and they were conversing with one another concerning all those things which had transpired.
15 It happened, while they talked and questioned together, that Jesus himself came near, and went with them.
And it came to pass, while they are talking and making inquiry, Jesus Himself also having come nigh, journeyed along with them:
16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
and their eyes were held so as not to recognize Him.
17 And he said to them, "What are these words that you are exchanging with each other as you walk?" And they stood still, looking sad.
And He said to them, What speeches are these which you are interchanging to one another, walking along? And they stood still, looking sad.
18 One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things which have happened there in these days?"
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?
19 He said to them, "What things?" They said to him, "The things concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;
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.
20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
How the chief priests and our rulers indeed delivered Him up to the condemnation of death, and they crucified Him.
21 But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.
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.
22 Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;
But certain women from us truly surprised us, being early at the sepulcher;
23 and when they did not find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
and not seeing His body, came, saying, they had also seen a vision of angels, who say that He is alive.
24 Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just like the women had said, but they did not see him."
And certain ones of those with us went away to the sepulcher, and found as the women also said: and they saw Him not.
25 Then he said to them, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken.
And He said to them, O ye foolish, and slow in heart to believe in all those things which the prophet spoke!
26 Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?"
Did it not behoove Christ to suffer, and to enter into His glory?
27 Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
And beginning from Moses and all the prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures, the things concerning Himself.
28 They drew near to the village, where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.
And they drew nigh to the village, whither they were going: and He made as though He would go further:
29 They urged him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over." He went in to stay with them.
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.
30 It happened, that when he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave to them.
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:
31 Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight.
and their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him; and He vanished from them.
32 And they said to one another, "Weren't our hearts burning within us, while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?"
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?
33 They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those with them gathered together,
34 saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon."
saying, The Lord indeed is risen, and was seen by Simon.
35 They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
And they expounded those things on the way, and bow He was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.
36 As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, "Peace be to you."
And they speaking these things, He stood in their midst,
37 But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
and they being affrighted and filled with fear, thought they saw a spirit.
38 He said to them, "Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?
And He said to them, Why are you excited, and why do reasonings arise in your heart?
39 See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have."
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.
40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41 While they still did not believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"
And they still disbelieving from joy, and wondering, He said to them, Have you here any edible?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.
And they gave Him a piece of baked fish:
43 And he took it and ate in front of them.
and taking it, He did eat in their presence.
44 And he said to them, "This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled."
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.
45 Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.
Then He opened their mind, that they might understand the Scriptures.
46 He said to them, "Thus it is written, for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,
And He said to them, As it has been written, That Christ must suffer, and rise from the dead on the third day;
47 and that repentance leading to forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
and repentance unto remission of sins is to be preached in His name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
You are witnesses of these things.
49 And look, I send forth the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."
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.
50 He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
And He led them out even unto Bethany; and having lifted up His hands, He blessed them.
51 It happened, while he blessed them, that he departed from them, and was carried up into heaven.
And it came to pass, while He was blessing them, He departed from them, and was carried up into heaven.
52 They worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
And they returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
53 and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.
and were constantly in the temple, praising God.
