Luke 24
24
1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they and some others came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3They entered in, and didn’t find the Lord Yeshua’s body. 4While they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing. 5Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth.
The men said to them, “Why do you seek the living amongst the dead? 6He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee, 7saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again?”
8 They remembered his words, 9returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the Eleven and to all the rest. 10Now they were Miriam Magdalene, Yochanah, and Miriam the mother of Jacob. The other women with them told these things to the emissaries. 11These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn’t believe them. 12But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.
13 Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia#24:13 60 stadia = about 11 kilometres or about 7 miles. from Jerusalem. 14They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened. 15While they talked and questioned together, Yeshua himself came near, and went with them. 16But their eyes were kept from recognising him. 17He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?”
18 One of them, named Klofah, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?”
19 He said to them, “What things?”
They said to him, “The things concerning Yeshua the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people; 20and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened. 22Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb; 23and when they didn’t find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24Some of us went to the tomb and found it just like the women had said, but they didn’t see him.”
25 He said to them, “Foolish people, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26Didn’t the Messiah have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?” 27Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 They came near to the village where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.
29 They urged him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over.”
He went in to stay with them. 30When he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave it to them. 31Their eyes were opened and they recognised him; then he vanished out of their sight. 32They said to one another, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?” 33They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them, 34saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” 35They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognised by them in the breaking of the bread.
36 As they said these things, Yeshua himself stood amongst them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”
37 But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.” 40When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
42 They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb. 43He took them, and ate in front of them. 44He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the Torah of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms concerning me must be fulfilled.”
45 Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures. 46He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Messiah to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 47and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48You are witnesses of these things. 49Behold, I send out the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”
50 He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven. 52They worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

Resurrection Morning
1On#Mt 28:1–10; Mk 16:1–11; Jn 20:1–18 the first day of the week,#Ac 20:7; 1Co 16:2 very early in the morning, they#24:1 Other mss add and other women with them came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared. 2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3They went in but did not find the body#Lk 12:4 of the Lord Jesus.#Lk 7:13; Ac 1:21 4While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men stood by them in dazzling#Lk 2:9; 17:24; Ac 12:7 clothes. 5So the women were terrified and bowed down to the ground.
“Why are you looking for the living among the dead?” asked the men. 6“He is not here, but he has risen!#Mt 26:32; Mk 5:41; 9:27; Jn 2:19; 1Co 15:4 Remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee,#Mt 17:22–23; Mk 9:30–31; Lk 9:22,44 7saying, ‘It is necessary that the Son of Man be betrayed#Lk 9:22,31,44; 18:32–33; 23:21 into the hands of sinful men, be crucified, and rise#Mt 17:9,23; Mk 8:31; 9:31; 10:34; Lk 18:33; 24:46 on the third day’?” 8And they remembered his words.
9Returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven#Ac 1:15–26; 2:14 and to all the rest. 10Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James,#Mk 15:40; 16:1; Lk 8:2–3 and the other women with them were telling the apostles#Lk 6:13 these things. 11But these words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe#Mt 28:17; Lk 24:41; Jn 20:25,27 the women. 12Peter,#Lk 6:14; Ac 10:32 however, got up and ran to the tomb. When he stooped to look in, he saw only the linen cloths.#24:12 Other mss add lying there#Lk 23:53 So he went away, amazed#Lk 1:21,63; 2:18,33; 4:22; Ac 2:7; 3:12 at what had happened.
The Emmaus Disciples
13Now#Mk 16:12–13 that same day two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles#24:13 Lit about sixty stadia; one stadion = 600 feet#Rv 21:16 from Jerusalem.#Mt 23:37; Ac 8:1 14Together they were discussing everything that had taken place. 15And while they were discussing and arguing, Jesus himself came near and began to walk along with them. 16But they#24:16 Lit their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.#Lk 9:45; 18:34; Jn 20:14–15; 21:4 17Then he asked them, “What is this dispute that you’re having#24:17 Lit “What are these words that you are exchanging with each other as you are walking?” And they stopped walking and looked discouraged.
18The one named Cleopas answered him, “Are you the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that happened there in these days?” #Ac 26:26
19 “What things?” he asked them.
So they said to him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth,#Lk 4:34; 18:37; Ac 2:22 who was a prophet#Dt 18:15; Lk 4:24 powerful in action and speech#Lk 4:14; Ac 1:1; 2:22 before God and all the people,#Lk 18:43 20and how our chief priests and leaders#Lk 23:13 handed him over to be sentenced to death,#Lk 9:44; 18:32; Ac 3:13; 13:27–28 and they crucified him.#Lk 23:21,25; Ac 5:30 21But we were hoping that he was the one who was about to redeem#Lk 22:20; Ac 1:6 Israel. Besides all this, it’s the third day#Lk 9:22; 13:32; 18:33 since these things happened. 22Moreover, some women from our group astounded us. They arrived early at the tomb, 23and when they didn’t find his body, they came and reported that they had seen a vision of angels who said he was alive. 24Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn’t see him.”#Lk 24:12; Jn 20:2–10
25He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow#24:25 Lit slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!#Lk 16:31; 18:31; Ac 26:27; 2Pt 1:21 26Wasn’t it necessary for the Messiah to suffer#Lk 24:44–48; 1Co 15:3–5 these things and enter into his glory?” #Lk 9:26,32; 21:27; 22:69; Ac 2:33; 7:55; 22:11 27Then beginning with Moses#Gn 3:15; 12:3; 22:18; Nm 21:9; 24:17 and all the Prophets,#2Sm 7:12–16; Is 7:14; 9:6; 52:13–53:12; Jr 23:5–6; Dn 7:13–14; Mc 5:2; Zch 9:9; 12:10 he interpreted for them the things concerning himself in all the Scriptures.#Lk 16:16
28They came near the village where they were going, and he gave the impression that he was going farther.#Mk 6:48 29But they urged him, “Stay with us, because it’s almost evening, and now the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.
30It was as he reclined at the table with them that he took the bread, blessed and broke#Lk 9:16; 22:19 it, and gave it to them. 31Then their eyes were opened,#2Kg 6:17; Lk 24:16 and they recognized him, but he disappeared from their sight.#Jn 20:19,26 32They said to each other, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us while he was talking with us on the road and explaining the Scriptures#Ac 17:3; 1Co 15:3–8 to us?” 33That very hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem. They found the Eleven#Lk 24:9 and those with them gathered together, 34who said, “The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!” #Lk 22:32; 1Co 15:4–5 35Then they began to describe what had happened on the road and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.#Ac 2:42
The Reality of the Risen Jesus
36As#Jn 20:19–20 they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst. He said to them, “Peace#Lk 2:14; 7:50; 8:48; 10:5; 19:38; Ac 10:36 to you!” 37But they were startled and terrified#Lk 24:5; Ac 10:4; 24:25 and thought they were seeing a ghost.#Mt 14:26 38“Why are you troubled?” #Jn 14:1,27 he asked them. “And why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself!#Jn 20:25,27 Touch me and see,#Mt 28:9; Ac 2:31; 17:18,31–32; 23:6–10; 24:15,21 because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.” 40Having said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41But while they still were amazed and in disbelief because of their joy, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42So they gave him a piece of a broiled fish,#24:42 Other mss add and some honeycomb 43and he took it and ate in their presence.
44He told them, “These are my words#Lk 9:22,44; 17:25; 18:31–33; 22:37 that I spoke to you while I was still with you — that everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets,#Ac 13:15; 28:23 and the Psalms#Ps 2:6–9; 16:10; 22:1–18; 34:20; 41:9; 69:1–9,20–21,26; 110:1–7; 118:22–26 must be fulfilled.” 45Then he opened their minds#Lk 24:27,31 to understand#Lk 9:45; 18:34 the Scriptures. 46He also said to them, “This is what is written:#24:46 Other mss add and thus it was necessary that The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead the third day,#Ps 16:10; Lk 9:22,44; 17:25; 18:32; Ac 8:26–40; 1Co 15:3–4 47and repentance for#24:47 Many mss read repentance and forgiveness of sins#Hs 14:2; Lk 3:3; Ac 2:38; 5:31; 8:22 will be proclaimed in his name to all the nations,#Gn 12:3; Ps 22:27; Is 2:2; 49:6; Hs 2:23; Mal 1:11; Mt 28:19–20; Mk 16:15 beginning at Jerusalem.#Ac 1:4–8 48You are witnesses#Ac 4:20,33 of these things. 49And look, I am sending you#24:49 Lit upon you what my Father promised.#Is 32:15; Jl 2:28–32; Jn 14:26; Ac 2:16–21; Eph 1:13 As for you, stay in the city#24:49 Other mss add of Jerusalem until you are empowered#24:49 Lit clothed with power#Ac 4:33; Rm 15:13 from on high.”
The Ascension of Jesus
50Then he led them out to the vicinity of Bethany,#Lk 19:29; Ac 1:12 and lifting up his hands#Lv 9:22; 1Tm 2:8 he blessed them. 51And while he was blessing them, he left them and was carried up into heaven.#Mk 16:19; Jn 20:17; Ac 1:9–11 52After worshiping him,#Mt 28:17 they returned to Jerusalem with great joy.#Lk 2:10 53And they were continually in the temple praising God.#24:53 Other mss read praising and blessing God. Amen.#Ac 2:46; 3:1; 5:42
