Luke 24
1 And on the first day of the week, very early morning, they came to the sepulcher bringing the spices that they prepared, and some women with them.
But on the first day of the week, at dawn, they came to the place where his body had been put, taking the spices which they had got ready.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher.
And they saw that the stone had been rolled away.
3 And having entered in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
And they went in, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.
4 And it came to pass while they were bewildered about this, that behold, two men stood near them in shining apparel.
And while they were in doubt about it, they saw two men in shining clothing by them:
5 And since they became frightened and bowing down their face to the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
And while their faces were bent down to the earth in fear, these said to them, Why are you looking for the living among the dead?
6 He is not here, but was raised. Remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee,
He is not here, he has come back to life: have in mind what he said to you when he was still in Galilee, saying,
7 saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day to rise.
The Son of man will be given up into the hands of evil-doers, and be put to death on the cross, and on the third day he will come back to life.
8 And they remembered his sayings.
And his words came back into their minds,
9 And having returned from the sepulcher, they reported all these things to the eleven, and to all the others.
And they went away from that place and gave an account of all these things to the eleven disciples and all the others.
10 Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles.
Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James: and the other women with them said these things to the Apostles.
11 And their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they disbelieved them.
But these words seemed foolish to them, and they had no belief in them.
12 But having risen, Peter ran to the sepulcher. And having stooped down, he sees the linen cloths laying alone. And he departed, wondering to himself at that which happened.
But Peter got up and went to the place where the body had been put, and looking in he saw nothing but the linen cloths, and he went to his house full of wonder at what had taken place.
13 And behold, two of them were going the same day to a village that was sixty furlongs away from Jerusalem, which name was Emmaus.
And then, two of them, on that very day, were going to a little town named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14 And they conversed with each other about all these things that happened.
And they were talking together about all those things which had taken place.
15 And it came to pass, while they conversed and discussed, that Jesus himself also having approached, went along with them.
And while they were talking and questioning together, Jesus himself came near and went with them.
16 But their eyes were held, not to recognize him.
But their eyes were not open that they might have knowledge of him.
17 And he said to them, What are these words that ye toss back to each other, while walking and are looking sad.
And he said to them, What are you talking about together while you go?
18 And one, whose name was Cleopas, having answered, said to him, Thou only visit Jerusalem and do not know the things that happened in it during these days?
Then stopping, and looking sadly at him, one of them, named Cleopas, said to him, Are you the only man living in Jerusalem who has not had news of the things which have taken place there at this time?
19 And he said to them, What? And they said to him, The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who became a prophet, a mighty man in work and word before God and all the people,
And he said to them, What things? And they said, The things to do with Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, great in his acts and his words, before God and all the people:
20 and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up for condemnation of death, and crucified him.
And how the chief priests and our rulers gave him up to be put to death on the cross.
21 But we hoped that he is the man who is going to redeem Israel. But even with all these things, it brings this third day today from which time these things happened.
But we were hoping that he would be the Saviour of Israel. In addition to all this he has now let three days go by from the time when these things took place;
22 But also some of our women astonished us, having come to be at the sepulcher early morning.
And certain women among us gave us cause for wonder, for they went early to the place where his body had been put,
23 And not having found his body, they came, saying also to have seen a vision of agents who say he is alive.
And it was not there; then they came saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was living.
24 And some of those with us went to the sepulcher, and found it this way, just as also the women said, but they did not see him.
And some of those who were with us went to the place, and saw that it was as the women had said, but him they did not see.
25 And he said to them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets spoke.
And he said, O foolish men! how slow you are to give belief to what the prophets have said.
26 Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?
Was it not necessary for the Christ to go through these things, and to come into his glory?
27 And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things about himself.
And he made clear to them all the things in the Writings, from Moses and from all the prophets, which had to do with himself.
28 And they came near to the village where they were going, and he pretended to go further.
And they came near the town to which they were going, and he seemed as if he was going on;
29 And they constrained him, saying, Remain with us, because it is toward evening, and the day has declined. And he went in to remain with them.
But they kept him back, saying, Do not go, for evening is near, the day is almost gone. And he went in with them.
30 And it came to pass during his dining with them, that, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken in pieces he gave to them.
And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he became invisible from them.
And then their eyes were open, and they had knowledge of him, but he went from their view.
32 And they said to each other, Was not our heart burning within us while he spoke to us on the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?
And they said to one another, Were not our hearts burning in us while he was talking to us on the way, making clear to us the holy Writings?
33 And having risen up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven gathered together,
And that very hour they got up and went back to Jerusalem, where the eleven and the others had come together.
34 and those who were with them who said, The Lord really was raised, and was seen by Simon.
And they said to them, The Lord has truly come back to life again, and Simon has seen him.
35 And they reported the things on the road, and how he was made known to them during the breaking of the bread.
And they gave an account of the things which had taken place on the way, and how, when he gave them bread, they had knowledge of him.
36 And as they spoke these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and says to them, Peace to you.
And while they were saying these things, he himself was among them, and said to them, Peace be with you!
37 But having been startled, and having become frightened, they presumed to see a spirit.
But they were full of fear, being of the opinion that they were seeing a spirit.
38 And he said to them, Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
And he said to them, Why are you troubled, and why are your hearts full of doubt?
39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as ye see me having.
See; my hands and my feet: it is I myself; put your hands on me and make certain; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.
40 And having said this, he displayed to them his hands and feet.
And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his feet.
41 And while they still disbelieved from joy and wondering, he said to them, Have ye anything to eat here?
And because, for joy and wonder, they were still in doubt, he said to them, Have you any food here?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish and from a bees honeycomb.
And they gave him a bit of cooked fish.
43 And having taken it, he ate before them.
And before their eyes he took a meal.
44 And he said to them, These are the words that I spoke to you while still being with you, that it is necessary for all things that are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms about me to be fulfilled.
And he said to them, These are the words which I said to you when I was still with you, how it was necessary for all the things which are in the writings of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms about me, to be put into effect.
45 Then he opened their mind to understand the scriptures.
Then he made the holy Writings clear to their minds.
46 And he said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day,
And he said to them, So it is in the Writings that the Christ would undergo death, and come back to life again on the third day;
47 and to proclaim in his name repentance and remission of sins for all the nations, having begun from Jerusalem.
And that teaching about a change of heart and forgiveness of sins is to be given to Jerusalem first and to all nations in his name.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
You are witnesses of these things.
49 And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you. But stay ye in the city until ye are clothed with power from on high.
And now I will send to you what my father has undertaken to give you, but do not go from the town, till the power from heaven comes to you.
50 And he led them outside as far as to Bethany, and having lifted up his hands, he blessed them.
And he took them out till they were near Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he gave them a blessing.
51 And it came to pass while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was brought up into heaven.
And while he was doing so, he went from them and was taken up into heaven.
52 And having worshiping him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
And they gave him worship and went back to Jerusalem with great joy.
53 and they were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Truly.
And they were in the Temple at all times, giving praise to God.
