Κατα Λουκαν 24
1 τη δε μια των σαββατων ορθρου βαθεως επι το μνημα ηλθον φερουσαι α ητοιμασαν αρωματα
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.
2 ευρον δε τον λιθον αποκεκυλισμενον απο του μνημειου
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
3 εισελθουσαι δε ουχ ευρον το σωμα {VAR1: [[του κυριου ιησου]] } {VAR2: του κυριου ιησου }
They entered in, and didn’t find the Lord Jesus’ body.
4 και εγενετο εν τω απορεισθαι αυτας περι τουτου και ιδου ανδρες δυο επεστησαν αυταις εν εσθητι αστραπτουση
While they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.
5 εμφοβων δε γενομενων αυτων και κλινουσων τα προσωπα εις την γην ειπαν προς αυτας τι ζητειτε τον ζωντα μετα των νεκρων
Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. The men said to them, “Why do you seek the living amongst the dead?
6 {VAR1: [[ουκ εστιν ωδε αλλα ηγερθη]] } {VAR2: ουκ εστιν ωδε αλλα ηγερθη } μνησθητε ως ελαλησεν υμιν ετι ων εν τη γαλιλαια
He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,
7 λεγων τον υιον του ανθρωπου οτι δει παραδοθηναι εις χειρας ανθρωπων αμαρτωλων και σταυρωθηναι και τη τριτη ημερα αναστηναι
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?”
8 και εμνησθησαν των ρηματων αυτου
They remembered his words,
9 και υποστρεψασαι {VAR1: [απο του μνημειου] } {VAR2: απο του μνημειου } απηγγειλαν ταυτα παντα τοις ενδεκα και πασιν τοις λοιποις
returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
10 ησαν δε η μαγδαληνη μαρια και ιωαννα και μαρια η ιακωβου και αι λοιπαι συν αυταις ελεγον προς τους αποστολους ταυτα
Now they were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them told these things to the apostles.
11 και εφανησαν ενωπιον αυτων ωσει ληρος τα ρηματα ταυτα και ηπιστουν αυταις
These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn’t believe them.
12 {VAR1: [[ο } {VAR2: ο } δε πετρος αναστας εδραμεν επι το μνημειον και παρακυψας βλεπει τα οθονια μονα και απηλθεν προς εαυτον θαυμαζων το {VAR1: γεγονος]] } {VAR2: γεγονος }
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.
13 και ιδου δυο εξ αυτων εν αυτη τη ημερα ησαν πορευομενοι εις κωμην απεχουσαν σταδιους εξηκοντα απο ιερουσαλημ η ονομα εμμαους
Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.
14 και αυτοι ωμιλουν προς αλληλους περι παντων των συμβεβηκοτων τουτων
They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.
15 και εγενετο εν τω ομιλειν αυτους και συζητειν {VAR1: [και] } {VAR2: και } αυτος ιησους εγγισας συνεπορευετο αυτοις
While they talked and questioned together, Jesus himself came near, and went with them.
16 οι δε οφθαλμοι αυτων εκρατουντο του μη επιγνωναι αυτον
But their eyes were kept from recognising him.
17 ειπεν δε προς αυτους τινες οι λογοι ουτοι ους αντιβαλλετε προς αλληλους περιπατουντες και εσταθησαν σκυθρωποι
He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?”
18 αποκριθεις δε εις ονοματι κλεοπας ειπεν προς αυτον συ μονος παροικεις ιερουσαλημ και ουκ εγνως τα γενομενα εν αυτη εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις
One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?”
19 και ειπεν αυτοις ποια οι δε ειπαν αυτω τα περι ιησου του ναζαρηνου ος εγενετο ανηρ προφητης δυνατος εν εργω και λογω εναντιον του θεου και παντος του λαου
He said to them, “What things?” They said to him, “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;
20 οπως τε παρεδωκαν αυτον οι αρχιερεις και οι αρχοντες ημων εις κριμα θανατου και εσταυρωσαν αυτον
and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
21 ημεις δε ηλπιζομεν οτι αυτος εστιν ο μελλων λυτρουσθαι τον ισραηλ αλλα γε και συν πασιν τουτοις τριτην ταυτην ημεραν αγει αφ ου ταυτα εγενετο
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.
22 αλλα και γυναικες τινες εξ ημων εξεστησαν ημας γενομεναι ορθριναι επι το μνημειον
Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;
23 και μη ευρουσαι το σωμα αυτου ηλθον λεγουσαι και οπτασιαν αγγελων εωρακεναι οι λεγουσιν αυτον ζην
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.
24 και απηλθον τινες των συν ημιν επι το μνημειον και ευρον ουτως καθως {VAR2: και } αι γυναικες ειπον αυτον δε ουκ ειδον
Some of us went to the tomb and found it just like the women had said, but they didn’t see him.”
25 και αυτος ειπεν προς αυτους ω ανοητοι και βραδεις τη καρδια του πιστευειν επι πασιν οις ελαλησαν οι προφηται
He said to them, “Foolish people, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
26 ουχι ταυτα εδει παθειν τον χριστον και εισελθειν εις την δοξαν αυτου
Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?”
27 και αρξαμενος απο μωυσεως και απο παντων των προφητων διερμηνευσεν αυτοις εν πασαις ταις γραφαις τα περι εαυτου
Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 και ηγγισαν εις την κωμην ου επορευοντο και αυτος προσεποιησατο πορρωτερον πορευεσθαι
They came near to the village where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.
29 και παρεβιασαντο αυτον λεγοντες μεινον μεθ ημων οτι προς εσπεραν εστιν και κεκλικεν ηδη η ημερα και εισηλθεν του μειναι συν αυτοις
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.
30 και εγενετο εν τω κατακλιθηναι αυτον μετ αυτων λαβων τον αρτον ευλογησεν και κλασας επεδιδου αυτοις
When he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave it to them.
31 αυτων δε διηνοιχθησαν οι οφθαλμοι και επεγνωσαν αυτον και αυτος αφαντος εγενετο απ αυτων
Their eyes were opened and they recognised him; then he vanished out of their sight.
32 και ειπαν προς αλληλους ουχι η καρδια ημων καιομενη ην {VAR2: [εν ημιν] } ως ελαλει ημιν εν τη οδω ως διηνοιγεν ημιν τας γραφας
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?”
33 και ανασταντες αυτη τη ωρα υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ και ευρον ηθροισμενους τους ενδεκα και τους συν αυτοις
They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
34 λεγοντας οτι οντως ηγερθη ο κυριος και ωφθη σιμωνι
saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”
35 και αυτοι εξηγουντο τα εν τη οδω και ως εγνωσθη αυτοις εν τη κλασει του αρτου
They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognised by them in the breaking of the bread.
36 ταυτα δε αυτων λαλουντων αυτος εστη εν μεσω αυτων {VAR1: [[και λεγει αυτοις ειρηνη υμιν]] } {VAR2: και λεγει αυτοις ειρηνη υμιν }
As they said these things, Jesus himself stood amongst them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”
37 πτοηθεντες δε και εμφοβοι γενομενοι εδοκουν πνευμα θεωρειν
But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 και ειπεν αυτοις τι τεταραγμενοι εστε και δια τι διαλογισμοι αναβαινουσιν εν τη καρδια υμων
He said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?
39 ιδετε τας χειρας μου και τους ποδας μου οτι εγω ειμι αυτος ψηλαφησατε με και ιδετε οτι πνευμα σαρκα και οστεα ουκ εχει καθως εμε θεωρειτε εχοντα
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.”
40 {VAR1: [[και } {VAR2: και } τουτο ειπων εδειξεν αυτοις τας χειρας και τους {VAR1: ποδας]] } {VAR2: ποδας }
When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41 ετι δε απιστουντων αυτων απο της χαρας και θαυμαζοντων ειπεν αυτοις εχετε τι βρωσιμον ενθαδε
While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
42 οι δε επεδωκαν αυτω ιχθυος οπτου μερος
They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
43 και λαβων ενωπιον αυτων εφαγεν
He took them, and ate in front of them.
44 ειπεν δε προς αυτους ουτοι οι λογοι μου ους ελαλησα προς υμας ετι ων συν υμιν οτι δει πληρωθηναι παντα τα γεγραμμενα εν τω νομω μωυσεως και τοις προφηταις και ψαλμοις περι εμου
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.”
45 τοτε διηνοιξεν αυτων τον νουν του συνιεναι τας γραφας
Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.
46 και ειπεν αυτοις οτι ουτως γεγραπται παθειν τον χριστον και αναστηναι εκ νεκρων τη τριτη ημερα
He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,
47 και κηρυχθηναι επι τω ονοματι αυτου μετανοιαν εις αφεσιν αμαρτιων εις παντα τα εθνη αρξαμενοι απο ιερουσαλημ
and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 υμεις μαρτυρες τουτων
You are witnesses of these things.
49 και {VAR1: ιδου εγω εξαποστελλω } {VAR2: [ιδου] εγω αποστελλω } την επαγγελιαν του πατρος μου εφ υμας υμεις δε καθισατε εν τη πολει εως ου ενδυσησθε εξ υψους δυναμιν
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.”
50 εξηγαγεν δε αυτους {VAR2: [εξω] } εως προς βηθανιαν και επαρας τας χειρας αυτου ευλογησεν αυτους
He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
51 και εγενετο εν τω ευλογειν αυτον αυτους διεστη απ αυτων {VAR1: [[και ανεφερετο εις τον ουρανον]] } {VAR2: και ανεφερετο εις τον ουρανον }
While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.
52 και αυτοι {VAR1: [[προσκυνησαντες αυτον]] } {VAR2: προσκυνησαντες αυτον } υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ μετα χαρας μεγαλης
They worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53 και ησαν δια παντος εν τω ιερω ευλογουντες τον θεον
and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
