Luke 24
1 And on the first of the sabbaths, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bearing the spices they made ready, and certain [others] with them,
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 tomb,
And they saw that the stone had been rolled away.
3 and having gone 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 are perplexed about this, that lo, two men stood by them in glittering apparel,
And while they were in doubt about it, they saw two men in shining clothing by them:
5 and on their having become afraid, and having inclined the face to the earth, they said to them, 'Why do ye seek the living with 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 was raised; remember how he spake to you, being 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 — It behoveth the Son of Man to be delivered up to the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to 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 sayings,
And his words came back into their minds,
9 and having turned back from the tomb told all these things to the eleven, and to 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 it was the Magdalene Mary, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women with them, who told unto the apostles these things,
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 sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they were not believing them.
But these words seemed foolish to them, and they had no belief in them.
12 And Peter having risen, did run to the tomb, and having stooped down he seeth the linen clothes lying alone, and he went away to his own home, wondering at that which was 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, lo, two of them were going on during that day to a village, distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, the name of which [is] 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 about all these things that have happened.
And they were talking together about all those things which had taken place.
15 And it came to pass in their conversing and reasoning together, that Jesus himself, having come nigh, was going on with them,
And while they were talking and questioning together, Jesus himself came near and went with them.
16 and their eyes were holden so as not to know him,
But their eyes were not open that they might have knowledge of him.
17 and he said unto them, 'What [are] these words that ye exchange with one another, walking, and ye are sad?'
And he said to them, What are you talking about together while you go?
18 And the one, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said unto him, 'Art thou alone such a stranger in Jerusalem, that thou hast not known the things that came to pass 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 things?' And they said to him, 'The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man — a prophet — powerful in deed 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 also the chief priests and our rulers did deliver him up to a judgment of death, and crucified him;
And how the chief priests and our rulers gave him up to be put to death on the cross.
21 and we were hoping that he it is who is about to redeem Israel, and also with all these things, this third day is passing to-day, since these things happened.
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 certain women of ours also astonished us, coming early to the tomb,
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 having found his body, they came, saying also to have seen an apparition of messengers, who say 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 of those with us went away unto the tomb, and found as even the women said, and 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 unto them, 'O inconsiderate and slow in heart, to believe on all that the prophets spake!
And he said, O foolish men! how slow you are to give belief to what the prophets have said.
26 Was it not behoving the Christ these things 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 having begun from Moses, and from all the prophets, he was expounding to them in all the Writings the things about 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 came nigh to the village whither they were going, and he made an appearance of going on 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 toward evening,' and the day did decline, 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, in his reclining (at meat) with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken, he was giving 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 became unseen by 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, 'Was not our heart burning within us, as he was speaking to us in the way, and as he was opening up to us the Writings?'
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, having risen up the same hour, turned back to Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven, and those with them,
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 was raised indeed, 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 were telling the things in the way, and how 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 as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, 'Peace — to you;'
And while they were saying these things, he himself was among them, and said to them, Peace be with you!
37 and being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves to see 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 ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings come up 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 I am he; handle me and see, because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye 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.
40 And having said this, he shewed to them the hands and the feet,
And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his feet.
41 and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, he said to them, 'Have ye anything 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 to him part of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb,
And they gave him a bit of cooked fish.
43 and having taken, he did eat before them,
And before their eyes he took a meal.
44 and he said to them, 'These [are] the words that I spake unto you, being yet with you, that it behoveth to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about 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 opened he up their understanding to understand the Writings,
Then he made the holy Writings clear to their minds.
46 and he said to them — 'Thus it hath been written, and thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of 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 reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all the 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 and ye — ye are witnesses of these things.
You are witnesses of these things.
49 'And, lo, I do send the promise of my Father upon you, but ye — abide ye in the city of Jerusalem till ye 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 forth without — unto Bethany, and having lifted up his hands he did bless 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, in his blessing them, he was parted from them, and was borne up to the heaven;
And while he was doing so, he went from them and was taken up into heaven.
52 and they, having bowed before him, did turn back 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. Amen.
And they were in the Temple at all times, giving praise to God.
