LUK-24:1 Now upon the first [day] of the week, very early in the
morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which
they had prepared, and certain [others] with them.
LUK-24:2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
LUK-24:3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord
Jesus.
LUK-24:4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed
thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
LUK-24:5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down [their] faces
to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among
the dead?
LUK-24:6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake
unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
LUK-24:7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands
of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
LUK-24:8 And they remembered his words,
LUK-24:9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these
things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
LUK-24:10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary [the
mother] of James, and other [women that were] with them, which
told these things unto the apostles.
LUK-24:11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they
believed them not.
LUK-24:12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and
stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves,
and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to
pass.
LUK-24:13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a
village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem [about]
threescore furlongs.
LUK-24:14 And they talked together of all these things which had
happened.
LUK-24:15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed
[together] and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with
them.
LUK-24:16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know
him.
LUK-24:17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications
[are] these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
LUK-24:18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering
said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast
not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
LUK-24:19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto
him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in
deed and word before God and all the people:
LUK-24:20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him
to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
LUK-24:21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have
redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day
since these things were done.
LUK-24:22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us
astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
LUK-24:23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying,
that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he
was alive.
LUK-24:24 And certain of them which were with us went to the
sepulchre, and found [it] even so as the women had said: but him
they saw not.
LUK-24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to
believe all that the prophets have spoken:
LUK-24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to
enter into his glory?
LUK-24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he
expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning
himself.
LUK-24:28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went:
and he made as though he would have gone further.
LUK-24:29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for
it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in
to tarry with them.
LUK-24:30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he
took bread, and blessed [it], and brake, and gave to them.
LUK-24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he
vanished out of their sight.
LUK-24:32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn
within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he
opened to us the scriptures?
LUK-24:33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to
Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that
were with them,
LUK-24:34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to
Simon.
LUK-24:35 And they told what things [were done] in the way, and
how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
LUK-24:36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the
midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.
LUK-24:37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed
that they had seen a spirit.
LUK-24:38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do
thoughts arise in your hearts?
LUK-24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself:
handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye
see me have.
LUK-24:40 And when he had thus spoken, he showed them [his]
hands and [his] feet.
LUK-24:41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered,
he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
LUK-24:42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an
honeycomb.
LUK-24:43 And he took [it], and did eat before them.
LUK-24:44 And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I
spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must
be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in]
the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me.
LUK-24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might
understand the scriptures,
LUK-24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it
behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third
day:
LUK-24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be
preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
LUK-24:48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
LUK-24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you:
but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with
power from on high.
LUK-24:50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he
lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
LUK-24:51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was
parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
LUK-24:52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem
with great joy:
LUK-24:53 And were continually in the temple, praising and
blessing God. Amen.
