Luke 24
1 Then on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb carrying the spices they had prepared, along with some others.
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 upon entering they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
And going in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that wow, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing!
And it came to pass, as they were astonished in their mind at this, behold, two men stood by them, in shining apparel.
5 Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them: “Why do you seek the living One 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, but is risen! Remember how He told you while still in Galilee,
He is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spoke unto you, when he was in Galilee,
7 saying, ‘The Son of the Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and 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 And they remembered His words.
And they remembered his words.
9 Then they returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the Eleven, and to all the rest.
And going back from the sepulchre, they told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.
10 They were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them, who told these things 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 to them like nonsense, and they disbelieved them.
And these words seemed to them as idle tales; and they did not believe them.
12 (But Peter had gotten up and run to the tomb, and stooping down he saw the linen strips lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at 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 And then that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, which was 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 And they were conversing with each other about all that had happened.
And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15 And then, as they were conversing and discussing, Jesus Himself came up and started going 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 restrained, in order that they not recognize Him.
But their eyes were held, that they should not know him.
17 So He said to them, “What words are these that you are exchanging with one another as you walk, and are gloomy?”
And he said to them: What are these discourses that you hold one with another as you walk, and are sad?
18 Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are you the only one living in Jerusalem who doesn't know the things that have happened there in these 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 He said to them, “What things?” So they said to Him: “The things concerning Jesus the Natsorean, how the man was a prophet mighty in deed and word 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 and how the chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified him.
And how our chief priests and princes delivered him to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
21 And we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel! Further, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.
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 Moreover certain women of our group astonished us—arriving early at the tomb,
Yea and certain women also of our company affrighted us, who before it was light, were at the sepulchre,
23 and not finding his body, they came saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said he 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 And certain of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; 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 He said to them: “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in 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 really not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into His glory?”
Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and so to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning from Moses, and then all the Prophets, He explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures, the things that were concerning him.
28 Then they approached the village where they were going, and He made as though He would keep going.
And they drew night to the town, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go farther.
29 But they constrained Him, saying, “Stay with us, because it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” 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 And then, as He was reclining with them, He took the bread, blessed 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 Him; and He became invisible to them.
And their eyes were opened, and they knew him: and he vanished out of their sight.
32 They said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked to us on the road, and while He 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 So they got up forthwith and returned to Jerusalem, where they found the Eleven gathered together; also those with them,
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 who said, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”
Saying: The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35 Then they described what happened on the road, and how He was known to them 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 As they were saying these things, indeed, Jesus Himself stood in their midst, and He said to them, “Peace to 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, terrified, supposed they were seeing a ghost, and were becoming fearful.
But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit.
38 And He said to them: “Why are you troubled?” 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 feet; it is I myself! Feel me and see; 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 saying this He showed them His hands and His feet.
And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and feet.
41 But as they were still disbelieving and marveling, because of the joy, He said to them, “Do you have any food here?”
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 some honeycomb.
And they offered him a piece of a broiled fish, and a honeycomb.
43 And taking it He ate in their presence.
And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them.
44 Then He said to them, “These are the words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything that is written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning me must be fulfilled.”
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 understanding so as to comprehend the Scriptures.
Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.
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: Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead, the third day:
47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from 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 Take note, I am sending the Promise of my Father upon you; but you must stay in the city of Jerusalem until you are 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 He led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up His hands He blessed them.
And he led them out as far as Bethania: and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
51 And it happened, as He was blessing them, that 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 Worshiping Him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy;
And they adoring went back into Jerusalem with great joy.
53 and they were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
And they were always in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
