Luke 24
1 Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
And on the first of the sabbaths, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bearing the spices they made ready, and certain [others] with them,
2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
and they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb,
3 They entered in, but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
and having gone in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 It happened that, while they were confused about this, suddenly, two men stood by them in bright shining robes.
And it came to pass, while they are perplexed about this, that lo, two men stood by them in glittering apparel,
5 As the women were filled with fear and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said to the women, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?
and on their having become afraid, and having inclined the face to the earth, they said to them, 'Why do ye seek the living with the dead?
6 He is not here, but has been raised! Remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee,
he is not here, but was raised; remember how he spake to you, being yet in Galilee,
7 saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.”
saying — It behoveth the Son of Man to be delivered up to the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again.'
8 The women remembered his words,
And they remembered his sayings,
9 and returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven and all the rest.
and having turned back from the tomb told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.
10 Now Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them reported these things to the apostles.
And it was the Magdalene Mary, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women with them, who told unto the apostles these things,
11 But this message seemed like idle talk to the apostles, and they did not believe the women.
and their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they were not believing them.
12 Yet Peter rose up and ran to the tomb, and stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves. Peter then departed to his home, wondering what had happened.
And Peter having risen, did run to the tomb, and having stooped down he seeth the linen clothes lying alone, and he went away to his own home, wondering at that which was come to pass.
13 Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.
And, lo, two of them were going on during that day to a village, distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, the name of which [is] Emmaus,
14 They discussed with each other about all the things that had happened.
and they were conversing with one another about all these things that have happened.
15 It happened that, while they discussed and questioned together, Jesus himself approached and went with them.
And it came to pass in their conversing and reasoning together, that Jesus himself, having come nigh, was going on with them,
16 But their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.
and their eyes were holden so as not to know him,
17 Jesus said to them, “What are the two of you talking about as you walk?” They stood there looking sad.
and he said unto them, 'What [are] these words that ye exchange with one another, walking, and ye are sad?'
18 One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only person in Jerusalem who does not know the things which have happened there these days?”
And the one, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said unto him, 'Art thou alone such a stranger in Jerusalem, that thou hast not known the things that came to pass in it in these days?'
19 Jesus said to them, “What things?” They answered him, “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet, mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
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,
20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death and crucified him.
how also the chief priests and our rulers did deliver him up to a judgment of death, and crucified him;
21 But we had confidence that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. Yes, and what is more, it is now the third day since all these things happened.
and we were hoping that he it is who is about to redeem Israel, and also with all these things, this third day is passing to-day, since these things happened.
22 But also, some women of our company amazed us, having been at the tomb early in the morning.
'And certain women of ours also astonished us, coming early to the tomb,
23 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 having found his body, they came, saying also to have seen an apparition of messengers, who say he is alive,
24 Some men who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said. But they did not see him.”
and certain of those with us went away unto the tomb, and found as even the women said, and him they saw not.'
25 Jesus said to them, “O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
And he said unto them, 'O inconsiderate and slow in heart, to believe on all that the prophets spake!
26 Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?”
Was it not behoving the Christ these things to suffer, and to enter into his glory?'
27 Then beginning from Moses and through all the prophets, Jesus interpreted to them the things concerning himself in all the scriptures.
and having begun from Moses, and from all the prophets, he was expounding to them in all the Writings the things about himself.
28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus acted as though he were going further.
And they came nigh to the village whither they were going, and he made an appearance of going on further,
29 But they compelled him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is almost over.” So Jesus went in to stay with them.
and they constrained him, saying, 'Remain with us, for it is toward evening,' and the day did decline, and he went in to remain with them.
30 It happened that, when he had sat down with them to eat, he took the bread, blessed it, and breaking it, he gave it to them.
And it came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken, he was giving to them,
31 Then their eyes were opened, and they knew him, and he vanished out of their sight.
and their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he became unseen by them.
32 They said one to another, “Was not our heart burning within us, while he spoke to us on the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?”
And they said one to another, 'Was not our heart burning within us, as he was speaking to us in the way, and as he was opening up to us the Writings?'
33 They rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem. They found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
And they, having risen up the same hour, turned back to Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven, and those with them,
34 saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon.”
saying — 'The Lord was raised indeed, and was seen by Simon;'
35 So they told the things that happened on the way, and how Jesus was shown to them in the breaking of the bread.
and they were telling the things in the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread,
36 As they spoke these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”
and as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, 'Peace — to you;'
37 But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they saw a spirit.
and being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit.
38 Jesus said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do questions arise in your heart?
And he said to them, 'Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings come up in your hearts?
39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see me having.”
see my hands and my feet, that I am he; handle me and see, because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me having.'
40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
And having said this, he shewed to them the hands and the feet,
41 They still could not believe it because of joy, and they were amazed. Jesus said to them, “Do you have anything to eat?”
and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, he said to them, 'Have ye anything here to eat?'
42 They gave him a piece of a broiled fish,
and they gave to him part of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb,
43 and he took it and ate it before them.
and having taken, he did eat before them,
44 He said to them, “When I was with you, I told you that all that was written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”
and he said to them, 'These [are] the words that I spake unto you, being yet with you, that it behoveth to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about me.'
45 Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the scriptures.
Then opened he up their understanding to understand the Writings,
46 He said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead on the third day.
and he said to them — 'Thus it hath been written, and thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead the third day,
47 Repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
and reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem:
48 You are witnesses of these things.
and ye — ye are witnesses of these things.
49 See, I am sending you what my Father promised. But remain in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
'And, lo, I do send the promise of my Father upon you, but ye — abide ye in the city of Jerusalem till ye be clothed with power from on high.'
50 Then Jesus led them out until they were near Bethany. He lifted up his hands and blessed them.
And he led them forth without — unto Bethany, and having lifted up his hands he did bless them,
51 It happened that, while he was blessing them, he left them and was carried up into heaven.
and it came to pass, in his blessing them, he was parted from them, and was borne up to the heaven;
52 So they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
and they, having bowed before him, did turn back to Jerusalem with great joy,
53 They were continually in the temple, blessing God.
and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
