Luke 24

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

²And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb;

³and on entering they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

⁴And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed about this, lo! two men stood by them in glittering apparel;

⁵and when they were terrified, and bowed their faces to the earth, the men said to them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

⁶He is not here, but hath risen. Remember how be spoke to you while yet in Galilee,

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

⁸And they remembered his words.

⁹And returning from the tomb, they told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.

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

¹¹And these words seemed to them as an idle tale, and they did not believe them.

¹³And lo! two of them were going the same day to a village called Emmaus, distant a hundred and sixty furlongs from Jerusalem.

¹⁴And they were conversing together about all those things which had taken place.

¹⁵And it came to pass, while they were conversing and reasoning, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

¹⁶But their eyes were restrained from knowing him.

¹⁷And he said to them, What discourse is this which ye have one with another, as ye are walking? And they stood sad.

¹⁸And one, whose name was Cleopas, answering said to him, Art thou the only sojourner in Jerusalem that doth not know the things which have come to pass there in these days?

¹⁹And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things relating to Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in word and deed before God and all the people;

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

²¹But we are hoping that it is he who is to redeem Israel; moreover, besides all this, it is the third day since these things were done.

²²And furthermore certain women of our company have amazed us; for going early to the tomb,

²³they did not find his body, and came, saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

²⁴And some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it to be as the women had said; but him they saw not.

²⁵And he said to them, O dull of apprehension, and slow of heart to believe all that the Prophets have spoken!

²⁶Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things, and enter into his glory?

²⁷And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

²⁸And they drew near to the village whither they were going; and he made as though he would go further.

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

³⁰And it came to pass, as he was at table with them, that he took the bread, and blessed it, and broke and gave it 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 hearts burn within us while he talked with us on the way, while he opened to us the Scriptures?

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

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

³⁵And they told what had happened on the way, and how he became known to them in the breaking of the bread.

³⁶And while they were thus speaking, he himself stood in the midst of them.

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

³⁸And he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why do doubts arise 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, as ye see me have.

⁴¹And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, Have ye anything here to eat?

⁴²And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.

⁴³And he took and ate it before them.

⁴⁴And he said to them, These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, concerning me.

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

⁴⁶And he said to them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and should rise from the dead on the third day,

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

⁴⁸Ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹And I send forth upon you that which hath been promised by my Father; but do ye tarry in the city, until ye are 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, that he parted from them.

⁵²And they returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

⁵³and were continually in the temple, praising God.

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.
