Luk 24:1 |
But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:2 |
And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:3 |
but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:4 |
While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing;
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:5 |
and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living One among the dead?
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:6 |
"He is not here, but He has [fn]risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee,
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:7 |
saying that 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 tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:10 |
Now they were Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James; also the other women with them were telling these things to the apostles.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:11 |
But these words appeared [fn]to them as nonsense, and they would not believe them.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:12 |
But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he [!] saw the linen wrappings [fn]only; and he went away to his home, marveling at what had happened.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:13 |
And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was [fn]about seven miles from Jerusalem.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:14 |
And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:15 |
While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:16 |
But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:17 |
And He said to them, "What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?" And they stood still, looking sad.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:18 |
One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, "Are You [fn]the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?"
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:19 |
And He said to them, "What things?" And they said to Him, "The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people,
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:20 |
and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to the sentence of death, and crucified Him.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:21 |
"But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:22 |
"But also some women among us amazed us. When they were at the tomb early in the morning,
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:23 |
and did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:24 |
"Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just exactly as the women also had said; but Him they did not see."
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:25 |
And He said to them, "O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:26 |
"Was it not necessary for the [fn]Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?"
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:27 |
Then beginning [fn]with Moses and [fn]with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:28 |
And they approached the village where they were going, and He acted as though He were going farther.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:29 |
But they urged Him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is getting toward evening, and the day [fn]is now nearly over." So He went in to stay with them.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:30 |
When He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:31 |
Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from [fn]their sight.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:32 |
They said to one another, " [fn]Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was [fn]explaining the Scriptures to us?"
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:33 |
And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven and those who were with them,
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:34 |
saying, "The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon."
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:35 |
They began to relate [fn]their experiences on the road and how He was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:36 |
While they were telling these things, He Himself stood in their midst and [!] said to them, "Peace be to you."
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:37 |
But they were startled and frightened and thought that they were seeing a spirit.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:38 |
And He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your [fn]hearts?
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:39 |
"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 that I have."
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:40 |
And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:41 |
While they still [fn]could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?"
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:42 |
They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish;
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:43 |
and He took it and ate it before them.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:44 |
Now He said to them, "These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled."
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:45 |
Then He opened their [fn]minds to understand the Scriptures,
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:46 |
and He said to them, "Thus it is written, that the [fn]Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day,
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:47 |
and that repentance [fn]for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed [fn]in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:48 |
"You are witnesses of these things.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:49 |
"And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:50 |
And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:51 |
While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven.
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:52 |
And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
|
  
  
|
Luk 24:53 |
and were continually in the temple [fn]praising God.
