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.

Luke 24
24
1And on the first of the sabbaths, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bearing the spices they made ready, and certain [others] with them,
2and they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb,
3and having gone in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4And it came to pass, while they are perplexed about this, that lo, two men stood by them in glittering apparel,
5and on their having become afraid, and having inclined the face to the earth, they said to them, ‘Why do ye seek the living with the dead?
6he is not here, but was raised; remember how he spake to you, being yet in Galilee,
7saying — It behoveth the Son of Man to be delivered up to the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again.’
8And they remembered his sayings,
9and having turned back from the tomb told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.
10And it was the Magdalene Mary, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women with them, who told unto the apostles these things,
11and their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they were not believing them.
12And Peter having risen, did run to the tomb, and having stooped down he seeth the linen clothes lying alone, and he went away to his own home, wondering at that which was come to pass.
13And, lo, two of them were going on during that day to a village, distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, the name of which [is] Emmaus,
14and they were conversing with one another about all these things that have happened.
15And it came to pass in their conversing and reasoning together, that Jesus himself, having come nigh, was going on with them,
16and their eyes were holden so as not to know him,
17and he said unto them, ‘What [are] these words that ye exchange with one another, walking, and ye are sad?’
18And the one, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said unto him, ‘Art thou alone such a stranger in Jerusalem, that thou hast not known the things that came to pass in it in these days?’
19And he said to them, ‘What things?’ And they said to him, ‘The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man — a prophet — powerful in deed and word, before God and all the people,
20how also the chief priests and our rulers did deliver him up to a judgment of death, and crucified him;
21and we were hoping that he it is who is about to redeem Israel, and also with all these things, this third day is passing to-day, since these things happened.
22‘And certain women of ours also astonished us, coming early to the tomb,
23and not having found his body, they came, saying also to have seen an apparition of messengers, who say he is alive,
24and certain of those with us went away unto the tomb, and found as even the women said, and him they saw not.’
25And he said unto them, ‘O inconsiderate and slow in heart, to believe on all that the prophets spake!
26Was it not behoving the Christ these things to suffer, and to enter into his glory?’
27and having begun from Moses, and from all the prophets, he was expounding to them in all the Writings the things about himself.
28And they came nigh to the village whither they were going, and he made an appearance of going on further,
29and they constrained him, saying, ‘Remain with us, for it is toward evening,’ and the day did decline, and he went in to remain with them.
30And it came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken, he was giving to them,
31and their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he became unseen by them.
32And they said one to another, ‘Was not our heart burning within us, as he was speaking to us in the way, and as he was opening up to us the Writings?’
33And they, having risen up the same hour, turned back to Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven, and those with them,
34saying — ‘The Lord was raised indeed, and was seen by Simon;’
35and they were telling the things in the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread,
36and as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, ‘Peace — to you;’
37and being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit.
38And he said to them, ‘Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings come up in your hearts?
39see my hands and my feet, that I am he; handle me and see, because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me having.’
40And having said this, he shewed to them the hands and the feet,
41and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, he said to them, ‘Have ye anything here to eat?’
42and they gave to him part of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb,
43and having taken, he did eat before them,
44and he said to them, ‘These [are] the words that I spake unto you, being yet with you, that it behoveth to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about me.’
45Then opened he up their understanding to understand the Writings,
46and he said to them — ‘Thus it hath been written, and thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead the third day,
47and reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem:
48and ye — ye are witnesses of these things.
49‘And, lo, I do send the promise of my Father upon you, but ye — abide ye in the city of Jerusalem till ye be clothed with power from on high.’
50And he led them forth without — unto Bethany, and having lifted up his hands he did bless them,
51and it came to pass, in his blessing them, he was parted from them, and was borne up to the heaven;
52and they, having bowed before him, did turn back to Jerusalem with great joy,
53and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
