| 24:1 | Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain others with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. |
| 24:2 | But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. |
| 24:3 | Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. |
| 24:4 | And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining clothing. |
| 24:5 | Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? |
| 24:6 | He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, |
| 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.'" |
| 24:8 | And they remembered His words. |
| 24:9 | Then they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. |
| 24:10 | It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women that were with them, who told these things to the apostles. |
| 24:11 | And their words seemed to them like idle tales, and they did not believe them. |
| 24:12 | But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying by themselves; and departed, marveling to himself at what had happened. |
| 24:13 | Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was about sixty stadiums from Jerusalem. |
| 24:14 | And they talked together of all these things which had happened. |
| 24:15 | So it was, while they conversed and reasoned together, that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them. |
| 24:16 | But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him. |
| 24:17 | And He said to them, "What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and are sad?" |
| 24:18 | Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, "Are You only a stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not known the things that happened there in these days?" |
| 24:19 | And He said to them, "What things?" So they said to Him, "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, |
| 24:20 | and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and have crucified Him. |
| 24:21 | But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. And besides all this, today is the third day since these things were done. |
| 24:22 | Yes, and certain women also of our company, who arrived at the tomb early, astonished us. |
| 24:23 | And when they did not find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive. |
| 24:24 | And certain of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but Him they did not see." |
| 24:25 | Then He said to them, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!" |
| 24:26 | Ought not Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?" |
| 24:27 | And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. |
| 24:28 | Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and He indicated that He would have gone farther. |
| 24:29 | But they constrained Him, saying, "Stay with us, because it is close to evening, and the day is far spent." And He went in to stay with them. |
| 24:30 | Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. |
| 24:31 | Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight. |
| 24:32 | And they said to one another, "Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?" |
| 24:33 | So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, |
| 24:34 | saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!" |
| 24:35 | And they told about the things that had happened on the road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of bread. |
| 24:36 | Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, "Peace to you." |
| 24:37 | But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen a spirit. |
| 24:38 | And He said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?" |
| 24:39 | Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have." |
| 24:40 | When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. |
| 24:41 | But while they still did not believe for joy, and marveled, He said to them, "Have you any food here?" |
| 24:42 | So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb. |
| 24:43 | And He took it and ate in their presence. |
| 24:44 | Then He said to them, "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still 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." |
| 24:45 | And He opened their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures. |
| 24:46 | Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day," |
| 24:47 | and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." |
| 24:48 | And you are witnesses of these things." |
| 24:49 | And behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high." |
| 24:50 | And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. |
| 24:51 | Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. |
| 24:52 | And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, |
| 24:53 | and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen. |
