Luke 24

The Resurrection
(Mt 28.1–10; Mk 16.1–8; Jn 20.1–10)
1Very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared. 2They found the stone rolled away from the entrance to the tomb, 3so they went in; but they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4They stood there puzzled about this, when suddenly two men in bright shining clothes stood by them. 5Full of fear, the women bowed down to the ground, as the men said to them, “Why are you looking among the dead for one who is alive? 6#Mt 16.21; 17.22–23; 20.18–19; Mk 8.31; 9.31; 10.33–34; Lk 9.22; 18.31–33He is not here; he has been raised. Remember what he said to you while he was in Galilee: 7‘The Son of Man must be handed over to sinners, be crucified, and three days later rise to life.’ ”
8Then the women remembered his words, 9returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven disciples and all the rest. 10The women were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; they and the other women with them told these things to the apostles. 11But the apostles thought that what the women said was nonsense, and they did not believe them. 12But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; he bent down and saw the linen wrappings but nothing else. Then he went back home amazed at what had happened.#24.12 Some manuscripts do not have verse 12.
The Walk to Emmaus
(Mk 16.12–13)
13On that same day two of Jesus' followers were going to a village named Emmaus, about eleven kilometres from Jerusalem, 14and they were talking to each other about all the things that had happened. 15As they talked and discussed, Jesus himself drew near and walked along with them; 16they saw him, but somehow did not recognize him. 17Jesus said to them, “What are you talking about to each other, as you walk along?”
They stood still, with sad faces. 18One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn't know the things that have been happening there these last few days?”
19 “What things?” he asked.
“The things that happened to Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet and was considered by God and by all the people to be powerful in everything he said and did. 20Our chief priests and rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and he was crucified. 21And we had hoped that he would be the one who was going to set Israel free! Besides all that, this is now the third day since it happened. 22Some of the women of our group surprised us; they went at dawn to the tomb, 23but could not find his body. They came back saying they had seen a vision of angels who told them that he is alive. 24Some of our group went to the tomb and found it exactly as the women had said, but they did not see him.”
25Then Jesus said to them, “How foolish you are, how slow you are to believe everything the prophets said! 26Was it not necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things and then to enter his glory?” 27And Jesus explained to them what was said about himself in all the Scriptures, beginning with the books of Moses and the writings of all the prophets.
28As they came near the village to which they were going, Jesus acted as if he were going farther; 29but they held him back, saying, “Stay with us; the day is almost over and it is getting dark.” So he went in to stay with them. 30He sat down to eat with them, took the bread, and said the blessing; then he broke the bread and gave it to them. 31Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he disappeared from their sight. 32They said to each other, “Wasn't it like a fire burning in us when he talked to us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?”
33They got up at once and went back to Jerusalem, where they found the eleven disciples gathered together with the others 34and saying, “The Lord is risen indeed! He has appeared to Simon!”
35The two then explained to them what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized the Lord when he broke the bread.
Jesus Appears to his Disciples
(Mt 28.16–20; Mk 16.14–18; Jn 20.19–23; Acts 1.6–8)
36While the two were telling them this, suddenly the Lord himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”#24.36 Some manuscripts do not have and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
37They were terrified, thinking that they were seeing a ghost. 38But he said to them, “Why are you alarmed? Why are these doubts coming up in your minds? 39Look at my hands and my feet, and see that it is I myself. Feel me, and you will know, for a ghost doesn't have flesh and bones, as you can see I have.”
40He said this and showed them his hands and his feet.#24.40 Some manuscripts do not have verse 40. 41They still could not believe, they were so full of joy and wonder; so he asked them, “Have you anything here to eat?” 42They gave him a piece of cooked fish, 43which he took and ate in their presence.
44Then he said to them, “These are the very things I told you about while I was still with you: everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the writings of the prophets, and the Psalms had to come true.”
45Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46and said to them, “This is what is written: the Messiah must suffer and must rise from death three days later, 47and in his name the message about repentance and the forgiveness of sins must be preached to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem. 48You are witnesses of these things. 49#Acts 1.4And I myself will send upon you what my Father has promised. But you must wait in the city until the power from above comes down upon you.”
Jesus is Taken Up to Heaven
(Mk 16.19–20; Acts 1.9–11)

Acts 1.9–11
Then he led them out of the city as far as Bethany, where he raised his hands and blessed them. 51As he was blessing them, he departed from them and was taken up into heaven.#24.51 Some manuscripts do not have and was taken up into heaven. 52They worshipped him and went back into Jerusalem, filled with great joy, 53and spent all their time in the Temple giving thanks to God.

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.
