Luke 24:1-53
24 but on the first day of the week at early dawn unto the tomb came they bringing the spices which they had prepared.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb;
3 but when they entered they found not the body [[of the Lord Jesus]].
4 And it came to pass while they were perplexing themselves concerning this that lo! two men stood near them in dazzling raiment.
5 And they becoming afraid and bending their faces unto the ground they said unto them—Why seek ye the Living One with the dead?
6 [[He is not here, but hath arisen:]] Remember how he spake unto you while yet he was in Galilee:
7 Saying as to the Son of Man That he must needs be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, And be crucified,—And on the third day arise.
8 And they remembered his sayings;
9 and returning [from the tomb] reported all these things unto the eleven and unto all the rest.
10 Now they were the Magdalene Mary and Joana and Mary the mother of James; and the other women with them were telling unto the apostles these things.
11 And these sayings appeared before them as if idle talk, and they were minded to disbelieve them.
12 [[But Peter arising ran unto the tomb,—and bending near beholdeth the linen bandages alone; and departed, unto himself marvelling at the thing that had happened.]]
13 And lo! two from among them on the self-same day were journeying unto a village distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, the name of which was Emmaus;
14 and they were conversing one with another about all these things which had occurred.
15 And it came to pass as they were conversing and reasoning together that Jesus himself drawing near was journeying with them;
16 but their eyes were held so as not to know him.
17 And he said unto them—What are these things which ye are debating one with another, as ye walk along? And they came to a stand, sad in countenance.
18 But one by name Cleopas, answering said unto him—Art thou lodging alone in Jerusalem, and knowest not the things which have come to pass therein in these days?
19 And he said unto them—What things? And they said unto him—The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who became a prophet mighty in work and word before God and all the people:
20 In what way also our High-priests and Rulers delivered him up unto a sentence of death and crucified him.
21 We however were hoping that he was the one destined to redeem Israel! But indeed even with all these things this brings on the third day since these things happened:—
22 Nay! certain women also from amongst us have made us beside ourselves, in that they went early unto the tomb;
23 and not finding his body came saying—that a vision of messengers they had seen, who were affirming him to be alive.
24 And certain of them who were with us departed unto the tomb,—and found so, according as the women had said; but him they saw not.
25 And he said unto them—O thoughtless ones! and slow in heart to rest your faith upon all things which the prophets have spoken:—
26 Was it not needful for the Christ these very things to suffer, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets he thoroughly explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 And they drew near unto the village whither they were journeying; and he made for journeying further.
29 And they constrained him saying—Abide with us; because it is towards evening, and the day hath already declined. And he went in to abide with them.
30 And it came to pass when he reclined with them, taking the loaf he blessed, and breaking it went on to give unto them.
31 And their eyes were opened and they knew him; and he vanished from them.
32 And they said one to another—Was not our heart burning as he was speaking to us in the way, as he was opening to us the Scriptures?
33 And arising in that very hour they returned unto Jerusalem,—and found gathered together the eleven, and them who were with them,
34 saying—In truth the Lord hath arisen and hath appeared unto Simon!
35 And they went on to relate the things [that had passed] on the journey, and how he was made known unto them in the breaking of the loaf.
36 Now as these very things they were telling he himself stood in their midst [[and saith unto them—Peace to you!]]
37 But being agitated and becoming afraid they began to imagine that upon a spirit they were looking.
38 And he said unto them—Why are ye troubled? and for what cause do reasonings arise in your hearts?
39 See my hands and my feet,—that it is I myself: Handle me, and see! because a spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye perceive I have.
40 [[And this saying he pointed out to them his hands and his feet.]]
41 Now while yet they believed not for the joy and were marvelling he said unto them—Have ye anything to eat here?
42 And they gave unto him a piece of boiled fish;
43 and taking it before them he did eat.
44 And he said unto them—These are my words which I spake unto you yet being with you: That all the things that are written in the law of Moses and the Prophets and Psalms concerning me, must needs be fulfilled.
45 Then opened he their mind to understand the Scriptures;
46 and said unto them—Thus it is written That the Christ should suffer, And arise from among the dead on the third day;
47 And that repentance for remission of sins should be proclaimed upon his name unto all the nations,—Beginning from Jerusalem.
48 Ye are witnesses of these things.
49 And lo! I am sending forth the promise of my Father upon you; But tarry ye in the city until ye be clothed from on high with power.
50 And he led them forth as far as unto Bethany; and uplifting his hands he blessed them.
51 And it came to pass while he was blessing them he parted from them [[and was born up into heaven.]]
52 And they [[having bowed down unto him]] returned unto Jerusalem with great joy;
53 and were continually in the temple blessing God.
