Mt 28.1-8; Mk 16.1-7; Jn 20.1,11-13. But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared. 2And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they went in they did not find the body.#24.3 Other ancient authorities add of the Lord Jesus 4While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel; 5and 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?#24.5 Other ancient authorities add He is not here, but has risen 6#Lk 9.22; 13.32-33. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7that the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise.” 8And they remembered his words, 9and returning from the tomb they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. 10#Mk 16.1; Lk 8.1-3; Jn 20.2. Now it was Mary Magdalene and Jo-anna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told this to the apostles; 11but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. 12#24.12 Other ancient authorities add verse 12, But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home wondering at what had happened
13That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles#24.13 Greek sixty stadia; some ancient authorities read a hundred and sixty stadia from Jerusalem, 14and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16#Jn 20.14; 21.4. But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17And he said to them, “What is this conversation which you are holding with each other as you walk?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” 19#Mt 21.11; Lk 7.16; 13.33; Acts 3.22. 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, 20and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21But 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. 22Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning 23and 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#Jn 20.3-10. 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.” 25And he said to them, “O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” 27#Lk 24.44-45; Acts 28.23; 1 Pet 1.11. And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Mk 6.48. So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He appeared to be going further, 29but 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. 30#Lk 9.16; 22.19. When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them. 31And their eyes were opened and they recognized him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us#24.32 Other ancient authorities omit within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?” 33And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them, 34#1 Cor 15.5. who said, “The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” 35Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.
36 #
Jn 20.19-20,27; Jn 21.5,9-13; 1 Cor 15.5; Acts 10.40-41. As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them.#24.36 Other ancient authorities add and said to them, “Peace to you!” 37But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit. 38And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do questionings rise in your hearts? 39#1 Jn 1.1. 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.” 40#24.40 Other ancient authorities add verse 40, And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet 41And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” 42They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43and he took it and ate before them.

Lk 24.26-27; Acts 28.23. 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.” 45Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, 46#Hos 6.2; 1 Cor 15.3-4. and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47#Acts 1.4-8; Mt 28.19. and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations,#24.47 Or nations. Beginning from Jerusalem you are witnesses beginning from Jerusalem. 48You are witnesses of these things. 49#Acts 2.1-4; Jn 14.26; 20.21-23. 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.”
50Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. 51#Acts 1.9-11. While he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.#24.51 Other ancient authorities omit and was carried up into heaven 52#Acts 1.12-14. And they#24.52 Other ancient authorities add worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53and were continually in the temple blessing God.

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
