Luke 24
24
1But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 4And it came to pass, while they were perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel: 5and as they were affrighted, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? 6He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet 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. 8And they remembered his words, 9and returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. 10Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James: and the other women with them told these things unto the apostles. 11And these words appeared in their sight as idle talk; and they disbelieved them. 12But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths by themselves; and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass.
13And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was threescore furlongs from Jerusalem. 14And they communed with each other of all these things which had happened. 15And it came to pass, while they communed and questioned together, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. 16But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. 17And he said unto them, What communications are these that ye have one with another, as ye walk? And they stood still, looking sad. 18And one of them, named Cleopas, answering said unto him, Dost thou alone sojourn in Jerusalem and not know the things which are come to pass there in these days? 19And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which 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 hoped that it was he which should redeem Israel. Yea and beside all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass. 22Moreover certain women of our company amazed us, having been early at the tomb; 23and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. 24And certain of them that were with us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. 25And he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26Behoved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? 27And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. 28And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further. 29And they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide with them. 30And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. 31And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32And they said one to another, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures? 33And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, 34saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. 35And they rehearsed the things that happened in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread.
36And as they spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 37But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit. 38And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings arise in your heart? 39See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having. 40And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his feet. 41And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat? 42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish. 43And he took it, and did eat before them. 44And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, how that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me. 45Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures; 46and he said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day; 47and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48Ye are witnesses of these things. 49And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.
50And he led them out until they were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 51And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven. 52And they worshipped 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
