Luke 24
1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
And on the first day of the week, in the morning, while it was yet dark, they came to the sepulchre, and brought the aromatics they had prepared. And there were other women with them.
2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
And they found the stone rolled from the sepulchre.
3 They entered in, and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
And they entered, and found not the body of Jesus.
4 It happened, while they were greatly perplexed about this, look, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.
And as they wondered at this, behold, two men stood opposite them; and their raiment was effulgent.
5 Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. They said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?
And they were in fear, and bowed their faces to the ground. And the men said to them: Why seek ye the living among the dead?
6 He is not here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,
He is not here; he is risen. Remember how he conversed with you, when he was in 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?"
and said, That the Son of man was to be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and to rise on the third day.
8 Then they remembered his words.
And they remembered his words.
9 And returning from the tomb, they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
And they returned from the sepulchre, and related all these things to the eleven, and to the rest.
10 Now they were Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles.
Now they were Mary Magdalena, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the others with them, who related these things to the Legates.
11 These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they did not believe them.
And these words appeared in their eyes as dreams: and they believed them not.
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.
But Simon arose, and ran to the sepulchre, and looked in, and saw the linen lying by itself: and he went away wondering in himself at what had occurred.
13 And look, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.
And lo, two of them, on the same day, were going to a village named Emmaus, distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem.
14 They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.
And they talked together of all that had occurred.
15 It happened, while they talked and questioned together, that Jesus himself came near, and went with them.
And as they conversed, and questioned each other, Jesus came, and drew near, and walked with them.
16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
And their eyes were held, that they did not recognize 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 are these discourses, which ye hold with each other, as ye walk and are sad?
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, whose name was Cleopas, answered and said to him: Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, that thou knowest not the things that have occurred there in these days?
19 He said to them, "What things?" They said to him, "The things concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;
He said to them: What things? They say to him: In regard to Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet, and mighty in discourse and in action, before God, and before all the people.
20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
And the chief priests and Elders delivered him up to a sentence of 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.
But we expected that he was to deliver Israel. And lo, three days have passed, since all these things occurred.
22 Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;
And moreover, certain women of ours astonished us; for they went early to the sepulchre;
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 as they did not find the body, they came and said to us: We saw angels there, and they 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 also some of us went to the sepulchre; and they found, as the women reported; 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 Jesus said to them: O deficient in understanding, and slow of heart to believe all the things that the prophets uttered.
26 Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?"
Were not these things to be; that the Messiah should suffer and that he should enter into his glory?
27 Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
Then he began from Moses, and from all the prophets, and expounded to them concerning himself from all the scriptures.
28 They drew near to the village, where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.
And they drew near to the village to which they were going; and he made them feel, as if he would go to a more distant place.
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.
And they urged him, and said to him: Tarry with us, for the day inclineth towards dark. And he went in to remain with them.
30 It happened, that when he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave to them.
And it occurred, while he reclined with them, that he took bread, and blessed, and brake, and gave to them.
31 Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight.
And instantly, their eyes were opened, and, they knew him. And he took himself from them.
32 And they said to one another, "Weren't our hearts burning within us, while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?"
And they said one to another: Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and explained 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,
And they arose, the same hour, and returned: to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven assembled, and those with them,
34 saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon."
who were saying: Certainly, our Lord hath risen; and he hath appeared to Simon.
35 They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
And they also related what occurred by the way, and how he became known to them, when he broke bread.
36 As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, "Peace be to you."
And while they were talking of these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them, and said to them: Peace be with you! It is I; be not afraid.
37 But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
And they were in trepidation and fear, for they supposed they saw a spirit.
38 He said to them, "Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?
Jesus said to them: Why are ye agitated? And why do imaginations 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."
Look at my hands and my feet, that it is myself. Handle me, and know; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
And as he said thus, 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?"
And while they still believed not, for their joy, and were astonished; he said to them: Have ye here any thing to eat?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.
And they gave him a piece of broiled fish, and of honeycomb.
43 And he took it and ate in front of them.
And he took, and ate before 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: These are the things which I said to you while I was with you, That all things written of me, in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms, must be fulfilled.
45 Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.
Then he opened their mind to understand the scriptures.
46 He said to them, "Thus it is written, 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 was right for Messiah to suffer, and rise from the dead on the third day;
47 and that repentance leading to forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
and that, in his name, repentance for the remission of sins should be preached among all nations, and that the commencement be at Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
And ye are the witnesses of these things.
49 And look, I send forth the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."
And I will send upon you the promise of my Father. But remain ye at Jerusalem until ye shall be clothed with energy from on high.
50 He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifted his hands, and blessed them.
51 It happened, while he blessed them, that he departed from them, and was carried up into heaven.
And it occurred, while he blessed them, that he was separated from them, and ascended to heaven.
52 They worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
53 and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.
And they were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen. Completion of the holy Gospel of Luke the Evangelist.
