Luke 24
¹ But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
² And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
³ And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
⁴ And it came to pass, while they were perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel:
⁵ and as they were affrighted, 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 that the Son of man must be delivered up 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 tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.
¹⁰ Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James: and the other women with them told these things unto the apostles.
¹¹ And these words appeared in their sight as idle talk; and they disbelieved them.
¹² But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths by themselves; and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass.
¹³ And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was threescore furlongs from Jerusalem.
¹⁴ And they communed with each other of all these things which had happened.
¹⁵ And it came to pass, while they communed and questioned together, that 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 communications are these that ye have one with another, as ye walk? And they stood still, looking sad.
¹⁸ And one of them, named Cleopas, answering said unto him, Dost thou alone sojourn in Jerusalem and not know the things which are come to pass there in these days?
¹⁹ And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things 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 up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
²¹ But we hoped that it was he which should redeem Israel. Yea and beside all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass.
²² Moreover certain women of our company amazed us, having been early at the tomb;
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 that were with us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
²⁵ And he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
²⁶ Behoved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?
²⁷ And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
²⁸ And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further.
²⁹ And they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide with them.
³⁰ And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the 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, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?
³³ And they rose up that very 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 rehearsed the things that happened in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread.
³⁶ And as they spake these things, he 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 beheld a spirit.
³⁸ And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings arise in your heart?
³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having.
⁴⁰ And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
⁴¹ And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat?
⁴² And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.
⁴³ And he took it, and did eat before them.
⁴⁴ And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, how that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me.
⁴⁵ Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures;
⁴⁶ and he said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day;
⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
⁴⁸ Ye are witnesses of these things.
⁴⁹ And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.
⁵⁰ And he led them out until they were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
⁵¹ And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.
⁵² And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
⁵³ and were continually in the temple, blessing God.
