Luke 24

1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they and certain other women with them came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

5 As the women bowed their faces to the ground in terror, the two men asked them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?

6 He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

8 Then they remembered His words.

9 And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

11 But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. And after bending down and seeing only the linen cloths lying there, he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

13 That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15 And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17 He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along with sadness on your faces?”

18 The one named Cleopas asked Him, “Are You the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in recent days?”

19 “What things?” He asked. “The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people.

20 Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

21 But we were hoping He was the One who would redeem Israel. And besides all this, today is the third day since these things took place.

22 Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early,

23 but they did not find His body. They came and told us they had seen a vision of angels, who said that Jesus was alive.

24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

25 Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26 Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

28 As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

29 But they pleaded with Him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So He went in to stay with them.

30 While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us as He spoke with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

33 And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

34 and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

35 Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

36 While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37 But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38 “Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39 Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

40 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

41 While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42 So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish and some honeycomb,

43 and He took them and ate them in front of them.

44 Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.”

45 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46 And He told them, “This is what is written: And thus it is necessary that the Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47 and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

48 You are witnesses of these things.

49 And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city of Jerusalem until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

50 When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51 While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

52 And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53 praising and blessing God continually in the temple.

1 ¶ Now upon the first [day] of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain [others] with them.

2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down [their] faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet 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.

8 And they remembered his words,

9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary [the mother] of James, and other [women that were] with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

13 ¶ And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem [about] threescore furlongs.

14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed [together] and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

17 And he said unto them, ‹What manner of communications› [are] ‹these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?›

18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

19 And he said unto them, ‹What things?› And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which 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 to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;

23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.

24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found [it] even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

25 Then he said unto them, ‹O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:›

26 ‹Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?›

27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed [it], and brake, and gave to them.

31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew 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?

33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

35 And they told what things [were done] in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

36 ¶ And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, ‹Peace› [be] ‹unto you.›

37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

38 And he said unto them, ‹Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?›

39 ‹Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.›

40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them [his] hands and [his] feet.

41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, ‹Have ye here any meat?›

42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

43 And he took [it], and did eat before them.

44 And he said unto them, ‹These› [are] ‹the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and› [in] ‹the prophets, and› [in] ‹the psalms, concerning me.›

45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

46 And said unto them, ‹Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise 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.›

48 ‹And ye are witnesses of these things.›

49 ‹And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.›

50 ¶ And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

1 But on the sabbath day very early they came to the sepulchre, bearing the spices which they had prepared, and some with them.

2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

3 And they went in, and found not the body of HErm JEsu.

4 And when they were troubled, behold, there came unto them two men clothed in shining garments.

5 And they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth. And they said unto them: Why seek ye the living among the dead?

6 He is not here: he is risen. Remember how he told you while he was still in Galilee,

7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

8 And they remembered his words.

9 And they departed again from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

10 And there was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and others with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

11 And they interpreted their words as if they were fables, and believed them not.

12 And Peter arose, and ran unto the sepulchre, and stooped down, and saw the linen clothes lying by themselves, and departed; and he wondered how it was done.

13 And, behold, two of them went that same day unto a place sixty leagues from Jerusalem, whose name is Emmaus.

14 And they spake one to another of all these tales.

15 And it came to pass, as they thus spake and consulted one another, that JEsus drew nigh unto them, and walked with them.

16 But their eyes were kept from knowing him.

17 And he said unto them: What manner of words are these which ye traffick among yourselves in the way, and are grieved?

18 Then answered one named Cleophas, and said unto him, Art thou alone among the strangers that are at Jerusalem, that knowest not what is done in these days within?

19 And he said unto them: Which? And they said unto him, That of JEsu of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;

20 As our chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified.

21 And we hoped that he would redeem Israel: and this day is the third day of all this, that it is come to pass.

22 And some of our wives, which were early at the sepulchre, have frightened us,

23 Not having found his body, come and say they have seen a vision of angels, which say he liveth.

24 And some of us went unto the sepulchre, and found it so, as the women said; but they found him not.

25 And he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26 Did not Christ suffer these things, and enter into his glory?

27 And began from Moses and all the prophets, and expounded unto them all the scriptures which were spoken by him.

28 And they came nigh unto the place where they went. And he stood as though he would go on.

29 And they compelled him, saying: Abide with us: for it will be evening, and the day is come. And he went in to abide with them.

30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave to them.

31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him. And he disappeared before them.

32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, when he spake unto us in the way, when he opened unto us the scriptures?

33 And they arose at that hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

34 Which said: The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared unto Simon.

35 And they told them the things that were done in the way, and how he was known of them in the day that he brake bread].

36 And as they spake of it, he himself, Jesus, stood in the midst of them, and said unto them: Peace be unto you!

37 And they were afraid, and were astonished, and thought they saw a spirit.

38 And he said unto them: Why are ye so terrified, and why do such thoughts come into your hearts?

39 Behold my hands and my feet; it is I myself: feel me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see that I have.

40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.

41 And when they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he saith unto them: Have ye here anything to eat?

42 And they set before him a piece of broiled fish and honeycomb.

43 And he took it, and did eat before them.

44 And he said unto them: These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you: for all things must be fulfilled which are written of me in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms.

45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scripture.

46 And said unto them: Thus it is written, and thus Christ must suffer, and rise from the dead the third day.

47 and preach repentance and remission of sins in his name among all nations, and lift up Jerusalem].

48 But ye are witnesses of all these things.

49 And, behold, I will send upon you the promise of my Father. And ye shall dwell in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be clothed with power from on high.

50 And he led them out to Bethany, and lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

51 And it came to pass, when he had blessed them, that he departed from them, and ascended into heaven.

52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.

53 And were in the temple all the way, praising and glorifying God. Gospel of John ^
