Luke 24
1 But on the morrow of the sabbath, very early indeed in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the aromatic spices which they had prepared.
But very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb, taking with them the spices that they had prepared.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb;
3 And when they had entered they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
and, on going into it, they could not find the body [of the Lord Jesus].
4 And it came to pass as they were in perplexity about it, that behold, two men suddenly stood by them in shining raiment.
While they were at a loss to account for this, all at once two men stood beside them, in dazzling clothing.
5 And as they were filled with fear and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living one among the dead?
But, when in their fear the women bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them: “Why are you looking among the dead for him who is living?
6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke to you, being yet in Galilee,
[He is not here; but he has risen.] Remember how he spoke to you before he left Galilee —
7 saying, The Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and rise the third day.
How he said that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of wicked men, and be crucified, and rise again on the third day.”
8 And they remembered his words;
Then they remembered the words of Jesus,
9 and, returning from the sepulchre, related all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
and, on returning from the tomb, they told all this to the Eleven and to all the rest.
10 Now it was Mary of Magdala, and Johanna, and Mary the [mother] of James, and the others with them, who told these things to the apostles.
There were Mary of Magdala, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James. The other women, too, spoke about this to the Apostles.
11 And their words appeared in their eyes as an idle tale, and they disbelieved them.
What they said seemed to the Apostles mere nonsense, and they did not believe them.
12 But Peter, rising up, ran to the sepulchre, and stooping down he sees the linen clothes lying there alone, and went away home, wondering at what had happened.
[But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping down he saw nothing but the linen wrappings, and he went away, wondering to himself at what had taken place.]
13 And behold, two of them were going on the same day to a village distant sixty stadia from Jerusalem, called Emmaus;
It happened that very day that two of the disciples were going to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem,
14 and they conversed with one another about all these things which had taken place.
talking together, as they went, about all that had just taken place.
15 And it came to pass as they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus himself drawing nigh, went with them;
While they were talking about these things and discussing them, Jesus himself came up and went on their way with them;
16 but their eyes were holden so as not to know him.
but their eyes were blinded so that they could not recognise him.
17 And he said to them, What discourses are these which pass between you as ye walk, and are downcast?
“What is this that you are saying to each other as you walk along?” Jesus asked. They stopped, with sad looks on their faces,
18 And one [of them], named Cleopas, answering said to him, Thou sojournest alone in Jerusalem, and dost not know what has taken place in it in these days?
and then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, said to Jesus: “Are you staying by yourself at Jerusalem, that you have not heard of the things that have happened there within the last few days?”
19 And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazaraean, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;
“What things do you mean?” asked Jesus. “Why, about Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered, “who, in the eyes of God and all the people, was a Prophet, whose power was felt in both his words and actions;
20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to [the] judgment of death and crucified him.
and how the Chief Priests and our leading men gave him up to be sentenced to death, and afterwards crucified him.
21 But we had hoped that he was [the one] who is about to redeem Israel. But then, besides all these things, it is now, to-day, the third day since these things took place.
But we were hoping that he was the Destined Deliverer of Israel; yes, and besides all this, it is now three days since these things occurred.
22 And withal, certain women from amongst us astonished us, having been very early at the sepulchre,
And what is more, some of the women among us have greatly astonished us. They went to the tomb at daybreak
23 and, not having found his body, came, saying that they also had seen a vision of angels, who say that he is living.
And, not finding the body of Jesus there, came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels who told them that he was alive.
24 And some of those with us went to the sepulchre, and found it so, as the women also had said, but him they saw not.
So some of our number went to the tomb and found everything just as the women had said; but they did not see Jesus.”
25 And he said to them, O senseless and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
Then Jesus said to them: “O foolish men, slow to accept all that the Prophets have said!
26 Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory?
Was not the Christ bound to undergo this suffering before entering upon his Glory?”
27 And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
Then, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them all through the Scriptures the passages that referred to himself.
28 And they drew near to the village where they were going, and he made as though he would go farther.
When they got near the village to which they were walking, Jesus appeared to be going further;
29 And they constrained him, saying, Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is declining. And he entered in to stay with them.
but they pressed him not to do so. “Stay with us,” they said, “for it is getting towards evening, and the sun in already low.” So Jesus went in to stay with them.
30 And it came to pass as he was at table with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken it, gave it to them.
After he had taken his place at table with them, he took the bread and said the blessing, and broke it, and gave it to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognised him. And he disappeared from them.
Then their eyes were opened and they recognised him; but he disappeared from their sight.
32 And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning in us as he spoke to us on the way, [and] as he opened the scriptures to us?
“How our hearts glowed,” the disciples said to each other, “while he was talking to us on the road, and when he explained the Scriptures to us!”
33 And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven, and those with them, gathered together,
Then they immediately got up and returned to Jerusalem, where they found the Eleven and their companions all together,
34 saying, The Lord is indeed risen and has appeared to Simon.
who told them that the Master had really risen, and had appeared to Simon.
35 And they related what [had happened] on the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread.
So they also related what had happened during their walk, and how they had recognised Jesus at the Breaking of the Bread.
36 And as they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst, and says to them, Peace [be] unto you.
While they were still talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them, [and said “Peace be with you.” ]
37 But they, being confounded and being frightened, supposed they beheld a spirit.
In their terror and alarm they thought they saw a spirit,
38 And he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why are thoughts rising in your hearts?
but Jesus said to them: “Why are you so startled? And why do doubts arise in your minds?
39 behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones as ye see me having.
Look at my hands and my feet, and you will know that it is I. Feel me, and look at me, for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”
40 And having said this he shewed them his hands and his feet.
[After saying this he showed them his hands and his feet.]
41 But while they yet did not believe for joy, and were wondering, he said to them, Have ye anything here to eat?
While they were still unable to believe it all for very joy, and were wondering if it were true, Jesus said to them: “Have you anything here to eat?”
42 And they gave him part of a broiled fish and of a honeycomb;
They handed him a piece of broiled fish,
43 and he took it and ate before them.
and he took it and ate it before their eyes.
44 And he said to them, These [are] the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all that is written concerning me in the law of Moses and prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.
“This is what I told you,” he said, “when I was still with you — that everything that had been written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms, must be fulfilled.”
45 Then he opened their understanding to understand the scriptures,
Then he enabled them to understand the meaning of the Scriptures, saying to them:
46 and said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved the Christ to suffer, and to rise from among the dead the third day;
“Scripture says that the Christ should suffer, and that he should rise again from the dead on the third day,
47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations beginning at Jerusalem.
and that repentance for forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed on his authority to all the nations — beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
You yourselves are to be witnesses to all this.
49 And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but do ye remain in the city till ye be clothed with power from on high.
And now I am myself about to send upon you that which my Father has promised. But you must remain in the city until you have been invested with power from above.”
50 And he led them out as far as Bethany, and having lifted up his hands, he blessed them.
After this, Jesus led them out as far as Bethany, and there raised his hands and blessed them.
51 And it came to pass as he was blessing them, he was separated from them and was carried up into heaven.
As he was in the act of blessing them, he left them [and was carried up into Heaven.]
52 And they, having done him homage, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
They [bowed to the ground before him and] returned to Jerusalem full of joy;
53 and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God.
and they were constantly in the Temple Courts, blessing God.
