< Luke 24 >

1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they and some others came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
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 They entered in, and didn’t find the Lord Yeshua’s body.
And going in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 While they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, 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 Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. The men said to them, “Why do you seek the living amongst 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 isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,
He is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spoke unto 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?”
Saying: The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
8 They remembered his words,
And they remembered his words.
9 returned from the tomb, and told 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 Now they were Miriam Magdalene, Yochanah, and Miriam the mother of Jacob. The other women with them told these things to the emissaries.
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 These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn’t believe them.
And these words seemed to them as idle tales; and they did not believe them.
12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering 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 Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.
And behold, two of them went, the same day, to a town which was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, named Emmaus.
14 They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.
And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15 While they talked and questioned together, Yeshua himself came near, and went 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 kept from recognising him.
But their eyes were held, that they should not know him.
17 He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?”
And he said to them: What are these discourses that you hold one with another as you walk, and are sad?
18 One of them, named Klofah, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which 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?” They said to him, “The things concerning Yeshua the Nazarene, who 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 delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
And how our chief priests and princes delivered him 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.
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 Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived 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 when they didn’t find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that 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 Some of us went to the tomb and found it just like the women had said, but they didn’t see him.”
And some of our people went to the sepulchre, and found it so as the women had said, but him they found not.
25 He said to them, “Foolish people, 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 Didn’t the Messiah have 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 Beginning from Moses and from 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 They came near to the village where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.
And they drew night to the town, whither they were going: and he made as though he would 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: Stay with us, because it is towards evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in with them.
30 When he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he 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 Their eyes were opened and they recognised him; then he vanished out of their sight.
And their eyes were opened, and they knew him: and he vanished out of their sight.
32 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 the other: Was not our heart burning within us, whilst he spoke in this way, and opened 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 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 saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”
Saying: The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35 They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognised by 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 said these things, Yeshua himself stood amongst them, and said to them, “Peace be 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 were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
But they being troubled and frightened, supposed 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 troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see that 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 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and feet.
41 While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
But while they yet believed not, and wondered for joy, he said: Have you any thing to eat?
42 They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
And they offered him a piece of a broiled fish, and a honeycomb.
43 He took them, and ate in front of them.
And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them.
44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the Torah of Moses, 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 minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.
Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.
46 He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Messiah 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 remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at 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 Behold, I send out the promise of my Father on you. But wait 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 he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
And he led them out as far as Bethania: and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
51 While he blessed them, he withdrew from 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 They worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
And they adoring went back into 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.
