Luqas (Luke) 24
24
1But on day one of the week#Lit. Sabbath., at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared,
2and they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
3And having entered, they did not find the body of the Master יהושע.
4And it came to be, as they were perplexed about this, that see, two men stood by them in glittering garments.
5And becoming frightened and bowing their faces to the earth, these said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?
6“He is not here, but has been raised up! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galil,
7saying, ‘The Son of Aḏam has to be delivered into the hands of sinners, and be impaled, and the third day rise again.’ ”
8And they remembered His words.
9And having returned from the tomb they reported all this to the eleven and to all the rest.
10And it was Miryam from Maḡdala, and Yoḥanah, and Miryam the mother of Ya‛aqoḇ, and the rest with them, who told this to the emissaries.
11And their words appeared to them to be nonsense, and they did not believe them.
12But Kĕpha arose and ran to the tomb. And stooping down, he saw the linen wrappings lying by themselves. And he went away home, marvelling at what took place.
13And see, two of them were going that same day to a village called Amma’us, which was sixty stadia#Approx. 11km or 6.8 miles. from Yerushalayim.
14And they were talking to each other of all this which had taken place.
15And it came to be, as they were talking and reasoning, that יהושע Himself drew near and went with them.
16But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him.
17And He said to them, “What are these words you are exchanging with each other as you are walking – and you are sad?”
18And the one whose name was Qleophas answering, said to Him, “Are You the lone visitor in Yerushalayim who does not know what took place in it these days?”
19And He said to them, “What?” And they said to Him, “Concerning יהושע of Natsareth, who was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before Elohim and all the people,
20and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and impaled Him.
21We, however, were expecting that it was He who was going to redeem Yisra’ĕl. But besides all this, today is the third day since these matters took place.
22“But certain women of ours, who arrived at the tomb early, also astonished us,
23when they did not find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of messengers who said He was alive.
24“And some of those with us went to the tomb and found it, as also the women had said, but they did not see Him.”
25And He said to them, “O thoughtless ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
26Was it not necessary for the Messiah to suffer these and to enter into His esteem?
27And beginning at Mosheh and all the Prophets, He was explaining to them in all the Scriptures the matters concerning Himself.
28And they approached the village where they were going, and He seemed to be going on.
29But they urged Him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening, and the day has declined.” And He went in to stay with them.
30And it came to be, when He sat at the table with them, having taken the bread, He blessed, and having broken, He was giving it to them.
31And their eyes were opened and they recognised Him. And He disappeared from their sight.
32And they said to each other, “Was not our heart burning within us as He was speaking to us on the way, and as He was opening the Scriptures to us?”
33And rising up that same hour they returned to Yerushalayim, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,
34saying, “The Master was truly raised, and has appeared to Shim‛on!”
35And they related what took place on the way, and how He was recognised by them in the breaking of the bread.
36And as they were saying this, יהושע Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.”
37And being startled and frightened, they thought they had seen a spirit.
38And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?
39See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.
40And saying this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
41And while they were still not believing for joy, and marvelling, He said to them, “Have you any food here?”
42And they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
43And taking it He ate in their presence.
44And He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all have to be filled that were written in the Torah of Mosheh and the Prophets and the Tehillim concerning Me.”
45Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
46and said to them, “Thus it has been written, and so it was necessary for the Messiah to suffer and to rise again from the dead the third day,
47and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His Name to all nations, beginning at Yerushalayim.
48And you are witnesses of these matters.
49And see, I am sending the Promise of My Father upon you, but you are to remain in the city of Yerushalayim until you are clothed with power from on high.# Acts 1:4-8
50And He led them out as far as Bĕyth Anyah, and lifting up His hands He blessed them.
51And it came to be, while He was blessing them, that He was parted from them and was taken up into the heaven.
52And they, having bowed down to Him, returned to Yerushalayim with great joy,
53and were continually in the Set-apart Place praising and blessing Elohim. Amĕn.

Luke 24

Jesus Rises from the Dead
1Very early on the first day of the week, at dawn, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared. 2They found the stone rolled away from the entrance of the tomb, 3but when they went in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4While they were wondering about this, two men in shining clothes suddenly stood beside them. 5The women were very afraid and bowed their heads to the ground. The men said to them, “Why are you looking for a living person in this place for the dead? 6He is not here; he has risen from the dead. Do you remember what he told you in Galilee? 7He said the Son of Man must be handed over to sinful people, be crucified, and rise from the dead on the third day.” 8Then the women remembered what Jesus had said.
9The women left the tomb and told all these things to the eleven apostles and the other followers. 10It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and some other women who told the apostles everything that had happened at the tomb. 11But they did not believe the women, because it sounded like nonsense. 12But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Bending down and looking in, he saw only the cloth that Jesus’ body had been wrapped in. Peter went away to his home, wondering about what had happened.
Jesus on the Road to Emmaus
13That same day two of Jesus’ followers were going to a town named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14They were talking about everything that had happened. 15While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and began walking with them, 16but they were kept from recognizing him. 17Then he said, “What are these things you are talking about while you walk?”
The two followers stopped, looking very sad. 18The one named Cleopas answered, “Are you the only visitor in Jerusalem who does not know what just happened there?”
19Jesus said to them, “What are you talking about?”
They said, “About Jesus of Nazareth. He was a prophet who said and did many powerful things before God and all the people. 20Our leaders and the leading priests handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him. 21But we were hoping that he would free Israel. Besides this, it is now the third day since this happened. 22And today some women among us amazed us. Early this morning they went to the tomb, 23but they did not find his body there. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels who said that Jesus was alive! 24So some of our group went to the tomb, too. They found it just as the women said, but they did not see Jesus.”
25Then Jesus said to them, “You are foolish and slow to believe everything the prophets said. 26They said that the Christ must suffer these things before he enters his glory.” 27Then starting with what Moses and all the prophets had said about him, Jesus began to explain everything that had been written about himself in the Scriptures.
28They came near the town of Emmaus, and Jesus acted as if he were going farther. 29But they begged him, “Stay with us, because it is late; it is almost night.” So he went in to stay with them.
30When Jesus was at the table with them, he took some bread, gave thanks, divided it, and gave it to them. 31And then, they were allowed to recognize Jesus. But when they saw who he was, he disappeared. 32They said to each other, “It felt like a fire burning in us when Jesus talked to us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us.”
33So the two followers got up at once and went back to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven apostles and others gathered. 34They were saying, “The Lord really has risen from the dead! He showed himself to Simon.”
35Then the two followers told what had happened on the road and how they recognized Jesus when he divided the bread.
Jesus Appears to His Followers
36While the two followers were telling this, Jesus himself stood right in the middle of them and said, “Peace be with you.”
37They were fearful and terrified and thought they were seeing a ghost. 38But Jesus said, “Why are you troubled? Why do you doubt what you see? 39Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have a living body as you see I have.”
40After Jesus said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41While they still could not believe it because they were amazed and happy, Jesus said to them, “Do you have any food here?” 42They gave him a piece of broiled fish. 43While the followers watched, Jesus took the fish and ate it.
44He said to them, “Remember when I was with you before? I said that everything written about me must happen—everything in the law of Moses, the books of the prophets, and the Psalms.”
45Then Jesus opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46He said to them, “It is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day 47and that a change of hearts and lives and forgiveness of sins would be preached in his name to all nations, starting at Jerusalem. 48You are witnesses of these things. 49I will send you what my Father has promised, but you must stay in Jerusalem until you have received that power from heaven.”
Jesus Goes Back to Heaven
50Jesus led his followers as far as Bethany, and he raised his hands and blessed them. 51While he was blessing them, he was separated from them and carried into heaven. 52They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem very happy. 53They stayed in the Temple all the time, praising God.
