Luke 24
1 And on the first [day] of the weeks, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, carrying the spices they made ready, and certain [others] with them,
Then, on the first Sabbath, at very first light, they went to the tomb, carrying the aromatic spices that they had prepared.
2 and they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb,
And they found the stone rolled back from the tomb.
3 and having gone in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
And upon entering, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it came to pass, while they are perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in clothing—flashing [with light];
And it happened that, while their minds were still confused about this, behold, two men stood beside them, in shining apparel.
5 and on their having become afraid, and having inclined the face to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living with the dead?
Then, since they were afraid and were turning their faces toward the ground, these two said to them: “Why do you seek the living with the dead?
6 He is not here, but was raised; remember how He spoke to you, being yet in Galilee,
He is not here, for he has risen. Recall how he spoke to you, when he was still in Galilee,
7 saying, It is necessary for the Son of Man to be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and to rise again [on] the third day.”
saying: ‘For the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”
8 And they remembered His sayings,
And they called to mind his words.
9 and having turned back from the tomb, told all these things to the Eleven, and to all the rest.
And returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven, and to all the others.
10 And it was Mary the Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles,
Now it was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women who were with them, who told these things to the Apostles.
11 and their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they were not believing them.
But these words seemed to them a delusion. And so they did not believe them.
12 And Peter having risen, ran to the tomb, and having stooped down he sees the linen clothes lying alone, and he went away to his own home, wondering at that having come to pass.
But Peter, rising up, ran to the tomb. And stooping down, he saw the linen cloths positioned alone, and he went away wondering to himself about what had happened.
13 And behold, two of them were going on during that day to a village, being sixty stadia distant from Jerusalem, the name of which [is] Emmaus,
And behold, two of them went out, on the same day, to a town named Emmaus, which was the distance of sixty stadia from Jerusalem.
14 and they were conversing with one another about all these things that have happened.
And they spoke to one another about all of these things that had occurred.
15 And it came to pass in their conversing and reasoning together, that Jesus Himself, having come near, was going on with them,
And it happened that, while they were speculating and questioning within themselves, Jesus himself, drawing near, traveled with them.
16 and their eyes were restrained so as not to know Him,
But their eyes were restrained, so that they would not recognize him.
17 and He said to them, “What [are] these words that you exchange with one another, walking, and you are sad?”
And he said to them, “What are these words, which you are discussing with one another, as you walk and are sad?”
18 And one, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said to Him, “Are You alone visiting Jerusalem and have not known the things having come to pass in it in these days?”
And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, responded by saying to him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”
19 And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man—a prophet—powerful in deed and word, before God and all the people,
And he said to them, “What things?” And they said, “About Jesus of Nazareth, who was a noble prophet, powerful in works and in words, before God and all the people.
20 how also the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him up to a judgment of death, and crucified Him;
And how our high priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death. And they crucified him.
21 and we were hoping that it is He who is about to redeem Israel, and also with all these things, this third day is passing today since these things happened.
But we were hoping that he would be the Redeemer of Israel. And now, on top of all this, today is the third day since these things have happened.
22 And certain of our women also astonished us, coming early to the tomb,
Then, too, certain women from among us terrified us. For before daytime, they were at the tomb,
23 and having not found His body, they came, saying to have also seen an apparition of messengers who say He is alive,
and, having not found his body, they returned, saying that they had even seen a vision of Angels, who said that he is alive.
24 and certain of those with us went away to the tomb, and found [it] so, even as the women said, and they did not see Him.”
And some of us went out to the tomb. And they found it just as the women had said. But truly, they did not find him.”
25 And He said to them, “O inconsiderate and slow in heart to believe on all that the prophets spoke!
And he said to them: “How foolish and reluctant in heart you are, to believe everything that has been spoken by the Prophets!
26 Was it not necessary [for] the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into His glory?”
Was not the Christ required to suffer these things, and so enter into his glory?”
27 And having begun from Moses, and from all the Prophets, He was expounding to them in all the Writings the things about Himself.
And beginning from Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted for them, in all the Scriptures, the things that were about him.
28 And they came near to the village to where they were going, and He made an appearance of going on further,
And they drew near to the town where they were going. And he conducted himself so as to go on further.
29 and they constrained Him, saying, “Remain with us, for it is toward evening,” and the day declined, and He went in to remain with them.
But they were insistent with him, saying, “Remain with us, because it is toward evening and now daylight is declining.” And so he entered with them.
30 And it came to pass, in His reclining with them, having taken the bread, He blessed, and having broken, He was giving to them,
And it happened that, while he was at table with them, he took bread, and he blessed and broke it, and he extended it to them.
31 and their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him, and He became unseen by them.
And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their eyes.
32 And they said to one another, “Was our heart not burning within us as He was speaking to us in the way, and as He was opening the Writings up to us?”
And they said to one another, “Was not our heart burning within us, while he was speaking on the way, and when he opened the Scriptures to us?”
33 And they, having risen up the same hour, turned back to Jerusalem, and found the Eleven gathered together, and those with them,
And rising up at that same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
34 saying, “The Lord was indeed raised, and was seen by Simon”;
saying: “In truth, the Lord has risen, and he has appeared to Simon.”
35 and they were expounding the things in the way, and how He was made known to them in the breaking of the bread,
And they explained the things that were done on the way, and how they had recognized him at the breaking of the bread.
36 and as they are speaking these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and says to them, “Peace to you”;
Then, while they were talking about these things, Jesus stood in their midst, And he said to them: “Peace be with you. It is I. Do not be afraid.”
37 and being amazed, and becoming frightened, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit.
Yet truly, they were very disturbed and terrified, supposing that they saw a spirit.
38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do reasonings come up in your hearts?
And he said to them: “Why are you disturbed, and why do these thoughts rise up in your hearts?
39 See My hands and My feet, that I am He; handle Me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see Me having.”
See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Look and touch. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”
40 And having said this, He showed the hands and the feet to them,
And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.
41 and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, He said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
Then, while they were still in disbelief and in wonder out of joy, he said, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
42 And they gave to Him part of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb,
And they offered him a piece of roasted fish and a honeycomb.
43 and having taken, He ate before them,
And when he had eaten these in their sight, taking up what was left, he gave it to them.
44 and He said to them, “These [are] the words that I spoke to you, being yet with you, that it is necessary to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about Me.”
And he said to them: “These are the words that I spoke to you when I was still with you, because all things must be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms about me.”
45 Then He opened up their understanding to understand the Writings,
Then he opened their mind, so that they might understand the Scriptures.
46 and He said to them, “Thus it has been written, and thus it was necessary [for] the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead [on] the third day,
And he said to them: “For so it is written, and so it was necessary, for the Christ to suffer and to rise up from the dead on the third day,
47 and conversion and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in His Name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem:
and, in his name, for repentance and the remission of sins to be preached, among all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 and you are witnesses of these things.
And you are witnesses of these things.
49 And behold, I send the promise of My Father on you, but you—abide in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”
And I am sending the Promise of my Father upon you. But you must stay in the city, until such time as you are clothed with power from on high.”
50 And He led them forth outside—to Bethany, and having lifted up His hands He blessed them,
Then he led them out as far as Bethania. And lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
51 and it came to pass, in His blessing them, He was parted from them, and was carried up into Heaven;
And it happened that, while he was blessing them, he withdrew from them, and he was carried up into heaven.
52 and they, having worshiped Him, turned back to Jerusalem with great joy,
And worshiping, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
53 and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
And they were always in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
