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 They entered in, and did not find the body of the Lord Yeshua.
and having entered, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

While they were in perplexity on this account, behold, two men stood by them, in robes of a dazzling brightness.
5 Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. They said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?

6 He is not here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galil,
He is not here, but is risen; remember how he spoke to you, before he left Galilee,
7 saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again?"

9 And returning from the tomb, they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
On their return from the tomb, they reported the whole matter to the eleven, and to all the other disciples.
10 Now they were Miriam from Magdala and Yohanah and Miriam the mother of Jacob and the other women with them told these things to the emissaries.
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 These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they did not believe them.
but their account appeared to them as idle tales; they gave them no credit.
12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering 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 And look, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was 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 talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.
they conversed together about all these events.
15 It happened, while they talked and questioned together, that Yeshua himself came near, and went 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 And he said to them, "What are these words that you are exchanging with each other as you walk?" And they stood still, looking sad.
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, answered him, "Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things which have happened there in these 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 He said to them, "What things?" They said to him, "The things concerning Yeshua of Natzeret, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word 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 and how the chief cohanim and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

21 But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.
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 Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;
some women of our company have astonished us; for having gone early to the tomb,
23 and when they did not find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he 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 Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just like the women had said, but they did not see him."
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 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 thoughtless men, and backward to believe things which have been all predicted by the prophets!
26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?"

28 They drew near to the village, where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.
When they came near the village, whither they were traveling, he seemed as intending to go farther;
29 They urged him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over." 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 It happened, that when he had sat down at the table with them, he took the matzah and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave to them.

31 Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight.

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 They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
Immediately they arose and returned to Jerusalem, where they found the eleven, and the rest of their company assembled,
34 saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Shim'on."

35 They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the matzah.
These also recounted what had happened on the road, and how he was made known to them in breaking the loaf.
36 As they said these things, Yeshua himself stood among them, and said to them, "Peace be to you."
While they discoursed in this manner, he stood in the midst of them, and said, Peace be to you.
37 But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
But they were amazed and affrighted, imagining that they saw a spirit.
38 He said to them, "Why are you troubled? 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 See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that 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 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
Saying this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41 While they still did not believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"

42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.

43 And he took it and ate in front of them.

44 And he said to them, "This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled."
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.
