| 24:1 |
But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared.
|
| 24:2 |
And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
|
| 24:3 |
but when they went in they did not find the body.
|
| 24:4 |
While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel;
|
| 24:5 |
and as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, 'Why do you seek the living among the dead?
|
| 24:6 |
Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee,
|
| 24:7 |
that the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise.'
|
| 24:8 |
And they remembered his words,
|
| 24:9 |
and returning from the tomb they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest.
|
| 24:10 |
Now it was Mary Mag'dalene and Jo-an'na and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told this to the apostles;
|
| 24:11 |
but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.
|
| 24:12 |
|
| 24:13 |
That very day two of them were going to a village named Emma'us, about seven miles from Jerusalem,
|
| 24:14 |
and talking with each other about all these things that had happened.
|
| 24:15 |
While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.
|
| 24:16 |
But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
|
| 24:17 |
And he said to them, 'What is this conversation which you are holding with each other as you walk?' And they stood still, looking sad.
|
| 24:18 |
Then one of them, named Cle'opas, answered him, 'Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?'
|
| 24:19 |
And he said to them, 'What things?' And 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 our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
|
| 24:21 |
But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since this happened.
|
| 24:22 |
Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning
|
| 24:23 |
and did not find his body;and they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
|
| 24:24 |
Some 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 |
And he said to them, 'O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
|
| 24:26 |
Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?'
|
| 24:27 |
And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
|
| 24:28 |
So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He appeared to be going further,
|
| 24:29 |
but they constrained him, saying, 'Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent.' So he went in to stay with them.
|
| 24:30 |
When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them.
|
| 24:31 |
And their eyes were opened and they recognized him;and he vanished out of their sight.
|
| 24:32 |
They said to each other, 'Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?'
|
| 24:33 |
And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem;and they found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them,
|
| 24:34 |
who said, 'The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!'
|
| 24:35 |
Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.
|
| 24:36 |
As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them.
|
| 24:37 |
But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit.
|
| 24:38 |
And he said to them, 'Why are you troubled, and why do questionings rise in your hearts?
|
| 24:39 |
See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself;handle me, and see;for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.'
|
| 24:40 |
|
| 24:41 |
And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, 'Have you anything here to eat?'
|
| 24:42 |
They gave him a piece of broiled fish,
|
| 24:43 |
and he took it and ate before them.
|
| 24:44 |
Then he said to them, 'These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled.'
|
| 24:45 |
Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures,
|
| 24:46 |
and said to them, 'Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead,
|
| 24:47 |
and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
|
| 24:48 |
You are witnesses of these things.
|
| 24:49 |
And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you;but stay in the city, until you are clothed with power from on high.'
|
| 24:50 |
Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.
|
| 24:51 |
While he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.
|
| 24:52 |
And they returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
|
| 24:53 |
and were continually in the temple blessing God.
