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.
But the first day of the week, they went by daybreak, with some others, to the tomb, carrying the spices which they had provided,
2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
and found the stone rolled away from the tomb;
3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
and having entered, 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.
While they were in perplexity on this account, behold, two men stood by them, in robes of a dazzling brightness.
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?
The women being affrighted, and fixing their eyes on the ground, these said to them, Why do you seek the living among 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 to you, before he left 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 sinners, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
8 Then they remembered His words.
Then 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.
On their return from the tomb, they reported the whole matter to the eleven, and to all the other disciples.
10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.
It was Mary the Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women 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.
but their account appeared to them as idle tales; they gave them no credit.
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.
Peter, however, arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, saw nothing there but the linen lying. And he went away, musing with astonishment on what had happened.
13 That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
The same day, as two of the disciples were traveling to a village named Emmaus, sixty furlongs from Jerusalem,
14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.
they conversed together about all these events.
15 And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.
While they were conversing and reasoning, Jesus himself joined them, and went along with them.
16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.
But their eyes were so affected that they did 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 subjects are these about which you confer together? and why are you dejected?
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 one of them, named Cleopas, answered, Are you only a stranger in Jerusalem, and do you not know the things which have happened there so lately?
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.
What things? said he. They answered, Concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, who was a prophet, powerful in word and deed, before God and all the people;
20 Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.
how our chief priests and magistrates have delivered him to be condemned to death, and have 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.
As for us, we trusted that it had been he who should have redeemed Israel. Besides all this, to-day, being the third day since these things happened,
22 Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,
some women of our company have astonished us; for having gone early to the tomb,
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 found his body, they came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said 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 men went to the tomb, and found matters exactly as the women had related; but him they saw 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 thoughtless men, and backward to believe things which have been all predicted by the prophets!
26 Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”
Ought not the Messiah thus to suffer, 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.
Then beginning with Moses, and proceeding through all the prophets, he explained to them all the passages relating to himself.
28 As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.
When they came near the village, whither they were traveling, he seemed as intending to 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, Abide with us, for it grows late, and the day is far spent. And he went to abide 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.
While they were at table together, he took the loaf, and blessed and broke it, and distributed to them.
31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.
Then their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he disappeared.
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 another, Did not our hearts burn within us, while he talked with us on the road, and expounded 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
Immediately they arose and returned to Jerusalem, where they found the eleven, and the rest of their company assembled,
34 and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”
who said, The Master is actually risen, and has 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.
These also recounted what had happened on the road, and how he was made known to them in breaking the loaf.
36 While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”
While they discoursed in this manner, he stood in the midst of them, and said, Peace be to you.
37 But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.
But they were amazed and affrighted, imagining 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 so alarmed? And wherefore do suspicious 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.”
Behold my hands and my feet; it is I myself; handle me and be convinced; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see me have.
40 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.
Saying this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41 While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
While yet they believed not, for joy and amazement, he said to them, Have you here anything to eat?
42 So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,
And they gave him a piece of broiled fish, and of a honeycomb,
43 and He took it and ate it in front of them.
which he took and eat in their presence.
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, This is what I told you while I remained with you, that all the things which are written of me in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, must be accomplished.
45 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.
Then he opened their minds, 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 said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved the Messiah to suffer, and to rise 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 reformation and the remission of sins should be proclaimed, in his name, among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
Now, 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 behold I send you that which my Father has promised; but do you continue in this city, until you be invested with power from above.
50 When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
He then led them out as far as Bethany, and lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
51 While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.
And while he was blessing them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
52 And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
And having worshiped him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy;
53 praising God continually in the temple.
and were constantly in the temple, praising and blessing God.
