Luke 24:1‑53• 1{i}But{/i} on the first [day] of the week, very early in the morning, {i}they came to the tomb, bringing the aromatic spices which they had prepared.{/i}
2And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre;
3and entering in they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4And it came to pass, in their perplexity about it, that behold, two men stood by them in shining raiment.
5And as they were fearful and bending their faces to the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living One among the dead?
6He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke to you, being yet in Galilee,
7saying, That the Son of man must be delivered up to the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and rise the third day.
8And they remembered his words;
9and, returning from the sepulchre, related all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
10Now it was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the [mother] of James, and the rest with them, who told these things to the apostles.
11And these words appeared in their eyes as an idle tale, and they disbelieved them.
12But Peter, rising up, ran to the sepulchre, and stooping down he sees the linen clothes lying alone, and went away home, wondering at what had happened.
13And behold, two of them were going on the same day to a village, distant sixty stadia from Jerusalem, called Emmaus;
14and they conversed with one another about all these things which had taken place.
15And it came to pass while they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus himself drawing nigh went with them.
16But their eyes were holden so as not to know him.
17And he said to them, What words [are] these which ye interchange with one another as ye walk and are downcast?
18And one [of them], named Cleopas, answering said to him, Dost thou sojourn alone in Jerusalem and knowest not the things come to pass in it in these days?
19And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazarean, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
20and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to [the] judgment of death and crucified him.
21But we had hoped that he was [the one] about to redeem Israel; but then also with all these things, this is the third day since these things came to pass.
22And withal, certain women from among us astonished us, having been early at the sepulchre,
23and, not having found his body, came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who say that he is alive.
24And some of those with us went to the sepulchre, and found even as the women also had said; but him they saw not.
25And he said to them, O senseless and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
26Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory?
27And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28And they drew near to the village where they were going, and he made as though he would go farther.
29And they forced him, saying, Stay with us, because it is towards evening and the day is sunk low. And he went in to abide with them.
30And it came to pass as he was at table with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and, having broken, gave [it] to them.
31And their eyes were opened thoroughly, and they recognized him, and he disappeared from them.
32And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning in us, as he spoke to us on the way, as he opened to us the scriptures?
33And having risen up that hour, they returned to Jerusalem and found assembled the eleven and those with them
34saying, The Lord is indeed risen and hath appeared to Simon.
35And they related the things on the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread.
36And while they were talking these things, he himself stood in their midst, and says to them, Peace to you .
37But confounded and being frightened, they supposed they beheld a spirit.
38And he said to them, Why are ye troubled, and wherefore do reasonings rise in your hearts?
39See my hands and my feet that it is I myself; handle me and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones even as ye see me have.
40And having said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41And while they were yet unbelieving for joy and wondering, he said to them, Have ye anything to eat here?
42And they gave him part of a broiled fish [and of a honeycomb].
43And having taken, he ate before them.
44And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while being yet with you, that all that must be fulfilled that is written in the law of Moses and prophets and psalms concerning me.
45Then he thoroughly opened their understanding to understand the scriptures,
46and said to them, Thus it is written that the Christ should suffer and arise from [the] dead the third day;
47and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all the Gentiles beginning at Jerusalem.
48Ye are witnesses of these things.
49And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but do ye settle in the city, until ye be endued with power from on high.
50And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
51And it came to pass, while he was blessing them, he was separated from them, and was carried up into heaven.
52And they having done him homage, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. (Luke 24:1‑53)
