Luke 24
1¶ Now upon the first of the sabbaths, very early in the morning they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
2And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
3And they entered in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4And it came to pass as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments;
5and as they were afraid and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
6He is not here, but is risen; remember how he spoke unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
7saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
8Then they remembered his words
9and returned from the sepulchre and told all these things unto the eleven and to all the rest.
10It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and other women that were with them who told these things unto the apostles.
11And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they did not believe them.
12But Peter arose 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.
13¶ And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was about sixty furlongs from Jerusalem.
14And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near and went together with them.
16But their eyes were held fast that they should not know him.
17And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another as ye walk and are sad?
18And 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?
19Then he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
20and how the princes of the priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death and crucified him.
21But we were hoping that it was he who should redeem Israel, and beside all this, today is the third day since these things were done.
22Although also certain women of our company made us astonished, who before daybreak were at the sepulchre;
23and when they did not find his body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
24And certain of those who were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said; but they did not see him.
25Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken;
26ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter (like this) into his glory?
27And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded this unto them in all the scriptures concerning himself.
28And they drew near unto the village where they went, and he made as though he would have gone further.
29But 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.
30And it came to pass as he sat at the table with them, he took bread and blessed it and broke and gave to them.
31And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
32And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us while he talked with us in the way and while he opened to us the scriptures?
33And they rose up the same hour and returned to Jerusalem and found the eleven gathered together and those that were with them,
34saying, The Lord is risen indeed and has appeared to Simon.
35And they told what things were done in the way and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.
36¶ And as they spoke these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them and said unto them, Peace be unto you.
37But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed that they were seeing a spirit.
38And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41And as they were not believing him yet for joy and wondering, he said unto them, Have ye here any food?
42So they gave him a piece of a broiled fish and of a honeycomb.
43And he took it and ate before them.
44And he said unto them, These are the words which I spoke 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.
45Then he opened their understanding that they might understand the scriptures
46and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day;
47and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
48And ye are witnesses of these things.
49And, behold, I shall send the promise of my Father upon you, but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye are endued with power from on high.
50¶ And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
51And it came to pass while he blessed them, he was parted from them and carried up into heaven.
52And they worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy
53and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

Luke 24
24
1 Then, on the first Sabbath, at very first light, they went to the tomb, carrying the aromatic spices that they had prepared.
2 And they found the stone rolled back from the tomb.
3 And upon entering, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it happened that, while their minds were still confused about this, behold, two men stood beside them, in shining apparel.
5 Then, since they were afraid and were turning their faces toward the ground, these two said to them: "Why do you seek the living with the dead?
6 He is not here, for he has risen. Recall how he spoke to you, when he was still in Galilee,
7 saying: 'For the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.' "
8 And they called to mind his words.
9 And returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven, and to all the others.
10 Now it was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women who were with them, who told these things to the Apostles.
11 But these words seemed to them a delusion. And so they did not believe them.
12 But Peter, rising up, ran to the tomb. And stooping down, he saw the linen cloths positioned alone, and he went away wondering to himself about what had happened.
13 And behold, two of them went out, on the same day, to a town named Emmaus, which was the distance of sixty stadia from Jerusalem.
14 And they spoke to one another about all of these things that had occurred.
15 And it happened that, while they were speculating and questioning within themselves, Jesus himself, drawing near, traveled with them.
16 But their eyes were restrained, so that they would not recognize him.
17 And he said to them, "What are these words, which you are discussing with one another, as you walk and are sad?"
18 And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, responded by saying to him, "Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?"
19 And he said to them, "What things?" And they said, "About Jesus of Nazareth, who was a noble prophet, powerful in works and in words, before God and all the people.
20 And how our high priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death. And they crucified him.
21 But we were hoping that he would be the Redeemer of Israel. And now, on top of all this, today is the third day since these things have happened.
22 Then, too, certain women from among us terrified us. For before daytime, they were at the tomb,
23 and, having not found his body, they returned, saying that they had even seen a vision of Angels, who said that he is alive.
24 And some of us went out to the tomb. And they found it just as the women had said. But truly, they did not find him."
25 And he said to them: "How foolish and reluctant in heart you are, to believe everything that has been spoken by the Prophets!
26 Was not the Christ required to suffer these things, and so enter into his glory?"
27 And beginning from Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted for them, in all the Scriptures, the things that were about him.
28 And they drew near to the town where they were going. And he conducted himself so as to go on further.
29 But they were insistent with him, saying, "Remain with us, because it is toward evening and now daylight is declining." And so he entered with them.
30 And it happened that, while he was at table with them, he took bread, and he blessed and broke it, and he extended it to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their eyes.
32 And they said to one another, "Was not our heart burning within us, while he was speaking on the way, and when he opened the Scriptures to us?"
33 And rising up at that same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
34 saying: "In truth, the Lord has risen, and he has appeared to Simon."
35 And they explained the things that were done on the way, and how they had recognized him at the breaking of the bread.
36 Then, while they were talking about these things, Jesus stood in their midst, And he said to them: "Peace be with you. It is I. Do not be afraid."
37 Yet truly, they were very disturbed and terrified, supposing that they saw a spirit.
38 And he said to them: "Why are you disturbed, and why do these thoughts rise up in your hearts?
39 See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Look and touch. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have."
40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.
41 Then, while they were still in disbelief and in wonder out of joy, he said, "Do you have anything here to eat?"
42 And they offered him a piece of roasted fish and a honeycomb.
43 And when he had eaten these in their sight, taking up what was left, he gave it to them.
44 And he said to them: "These are the words that I spoke to you when I was still with you, because all things must be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms about me."
45 Then he opened their mind, so that they might understand the Scriptures.
46 And he said to them: "For so it is written, and so it was necessary, for the Christ to suffer and to rise up from the dead on the third day,
47 and, in his name, for repentance and the remission of sins to be preached, among all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And you are witnesses of these things.
49 And I am sending the Promise of my Father upon you. But you must stay in the city, until such time as you are clothed with power from on high."
50 Then he led them out as far as Bethania. And lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
51 And it happened that, while he was blessing them, he withdrew from them, and he was carried up into heaven.
52 And worshiping, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
53 And they were always in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
