Luke 24
1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.
And on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
And they found the stone rolled back from the sepulchre.
3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
And going in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.
And it came to pass, as they were astonished in their mind at this, behold, two men stood by them, in shining apparel.
5 As the women bowed their faces to the ground in terror, the two men asked them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?
And as they were afraid, and bowed down their countenance towards the ground, they said unto them: Why seek you the living with the dead?
6 He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:
He is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spoke unto you, when he was in Galilee,
7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”
Saying: The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
8 Then they remembered His words.
And they remembered his words.
9 And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.
And going back from the sepulchre, they told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.
10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.
And 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.
11 But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.
And these words seemed to them as idle tales; and they did not believe them.
12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. And after bending down and seeing only the linen cloths, he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.
But 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.
13 That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
And behold, two of them went, the same day, to a town which was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, named Emmaus.
14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.
And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15 And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.
And it came to pass, that while they talked and reasoned with themselves, Jesus himself also drawing near, went with them.
16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.
But their eyes were held, that they should not know him.
17 He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.
And he said to them: What are these discourses that you hold one with another as you walk, and are sad?
18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked Him, “Are You the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in recent days?”
And the one of them, whose name was Cleophas, answering, said to him: Art thou only a stranger to Jerusalem, and hast not known the things that have been done there in these days?
19 “What things?” He asked. “The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people.
To 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;
20 Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.
And how our chief priests and princes delivered him to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
21 But we were hoping He was the One who would redeem Israel. And besides all this, it is the third day since these things took place.
But we hoped, that it was he that should have redeemed Israel: and now besides all this, today is the third day since these things were done.
22 Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,
Yea and certain women also of our company affrighted us, who before it was light, were at the sepulchre,
23 but they did not find His body. They came and told us they had seen a vision of angels, who said that Jesus was alive.
And not finding his body, came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive.
24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”
And some of our people went to the sepulchre, and found it so as the women had said, but him they found not.
25 Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, how slow are your hearts to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
Then he said to them: O foolish, and slow of heart to believe in all things which the prophets have spoken.
26 Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”
Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and so to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures, the things that were concerning him.
28 As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.
And they drew night to the town, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go farther.
29 But they pleaded with Him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So He went in to stay with them.
But 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.
30 While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.
And it came to pass, whilst he was at table with them, he took bread, and blessed, and brake, and gave to them.
31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.
And their eyes were opened, and they knew him: and he vanished out of their sight.
32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us as He spoke with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
And they said one to the other: Was not our heart burning within us, whilst he spoke in this way, and opened to us the scriptures?
33 And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together
And rising up, the same hour, they went back to Jerusalem: and they found the eleven gathered together, and those that were staying with them,
34 and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”
Saying: The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35 Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.
And they told what things were done in the way; and how they knew him in the breaking of the bread.
36 While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”
Now 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.
37 But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.
But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit.
38 “Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?
And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
See 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.
40 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.
And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and feet.
41 While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
But while they yet believed not, and wondered for joy, he said: Have you any thing to eat?
42 So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,
And they offered him a piece of a broiled fish, and a honeycomb.
43 and He took it and ate it in front of them.
And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them.
44 Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.”
And 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.
45 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.
Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.
46 And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
And 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:
47 and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.
And that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
And you are witnesses of these things.
49 And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
And I send the promise of my Father upon you: but stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high.
50 When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
And he led them out as far as Bethania: and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
51 While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.
And it came to pass, whilst he blessed them, he departed from them, and was carried up to heaven.
52 And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
And they adoring went back into Jerusalem with great joy.
53 praising God continually in the temple.
And they were always in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
