Luke 24

¹And on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared.

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

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

⁴And it came to pass, as they were astonished in their mind at this, behold, two men stood by them, in shining apparel.

⁵And as they were afraid and bowed down their countenance towards the ground, they said unto them: Why seek you the living with the dead?

⁶He is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spoke unto you, when he was yet in Galilee,

⁷Saying: The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and the third day rise again.

⁸And they remembered his words.

⁹And going back from the sepulchre, they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

¹⁰And it was Mary Magdalen and Joanna and Mary of James and the other women that were with them, who told these things to the apostles.

¹¹And these words seemed to them as idle tales: and they did not believe them.

¹²But Peter rising up, ran to the sepulchre and, stooping down, he saw the linen cloths laid by themselves: and went away wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

¹³And behold, two of them went, the same day, to a town which was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, named Emmaus.

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

¹⁵And it came to pass that while they talked and reasoned with themselves, Jesus himself also, drawing near, went with them.

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

¹⁷And he said to them: What are these discourses that you hold one with another as you walk and are sad?

¹⁸And the one of them, whose name was Cleophas, answering, said to him: Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things that have been done there in these days?

¹⁹To whom he said: What things? And they said: Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people.

²⁰And how our chief priests and princes delivered him to be condemned to death and crucified him.

²¹But we hoped that it was he that should have redeemed Israel. And now besides all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done.

²²Yea and certain women also of our company affrighted us who, before it was light, were at the sepulchre,

²³And not finding his body, came, saying that they had all seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive.

²⁴And some of our people went to the sepulchre and found it so as the women had said: but him they found not.

²⁵Then he said to them: O foolish and slow of heart to believe in all things, Which the prophets have spoken.

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

²⁷And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things that were concerning him.

²⁸And they drew nigh to the town whither they were going: and he made as though he would go farther.

²⁹But they constrained him, saying: Stay with us, because it is towards evening and the day is now far spent. And he went in with them.

³⁰And it came to pass, whilst he was at table with them, he took bread and blessed and brake and gave to them.

³¹And their eyes were opened: and they knew him. And he vanished out of their sight.

³²And they said one to the other: Was not our heart burning within us, whilst he spoke in the way and opened to us the scriptures?

³³And rising up, the same hour, they went back to Jerusalem: and they found the eleven gathered together, and those that were with them,

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

³⁵And they told what things were done in the way: and how they knew him in the breaking of bread.

³⁶Now, whilst they were speaking these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them and saith to them: Peace be to you. It is I: Fear not.

³⁷But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit.

³⁸And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

³⁹See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Handle, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me to have.

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

⁴¹But while they yet believed not and wondered for joy, he said: Have you here any thing to eat?

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

⁴³And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them.

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

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

⁴⁶And he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead, the third day:

⁴⁷And that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁸And you are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹And I send the promise of my Father upon you: but stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high.

⁵⁰And he led them out as far as Bethania: and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.

⁵¹And it came to pass, whilst he blessed them, he departed from them and was carried up to heaven.

⁵²And they adoring went back into Jerusalem with great joy.

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

Luke 24

¹Now 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁸And they remembered his words,

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

¹⁰It 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.

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

¹²Then 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.

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁸And 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?

¹⁹And 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:

²⁰And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

²¹But 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.

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

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

²⁴And 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.

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

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

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

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

²⁹But 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.

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

³¹And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

³²And 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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

³⁹Behold 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.

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

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

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

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

⁴⁴And 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.

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

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

⁴⁷And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁸And ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹And, 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.

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

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

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

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