Luke 24
24
1But on the morrow of the sabbath, very early indeed in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the aromatic spices which they had prepared. 2And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. 3And when they had entered they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 4And it came to pass as they were in perplexity about it, that behold, two men suddenly stood by them in shining raiment. 5And as they were filled with fear and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living one among the dead? 6He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke to you, being yet in Galilee, 7saying, The Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and rise the third day. 8And they remembered his words; 9and, returning from the sepulchre, related all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10Now it was Mary of Magdala, and Johanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the others with them, who told these things to the apostles. 11And their words appeared in their eyes as an idle tale, and they disbelieved them. 12But Peter, rising up, ran to the sepulchre, and stooping down he sees the linen clothes lying there alone, and went away home, wondering at what had happened.
13And behold, two of them were going on the same day to a village distant sixty stadia from Jerusalem, called Emmaus; 14and they conversed with one another about all these things which had taken place. 15And it came to pass as they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus himself drawing nigh, went with them; 16but their eyes were holden so as not to know him. 17And he said to them, What discourses are these which pass between you as ye walk, and are downcast? 18And one of them, named Cleopas, answering said to him, Thou sojournest alone in Jerusalem, and dost not know what has taken place in it in these days? 19And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazaraean, 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 the judgment of death and crucified him. 21But we had hoped that he was the one who is about to redeem Israel. But then, besides all these things, it is now, to-day, the third day since these things took place. 22And withal, certain women from amongst us astonished us, having been very early at the sepulchre, 23and, not having found his body, came, saying that they also had seen a vision of angels, who say that he is living. 24And some of those with us went to the sepulchre, and found it so, as the women also had said, but him they saw not. 25And he said to them, O senseless and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory? 27And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. 28And they drew near to the village where they were going, and he made as though he would go farther. 29And they constrained him, saying, Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is declining. And he entered in to stay with them. 30And it came to pass as he was at table with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken it, gave it to them. 31And their eyes were opened, and they recognised him. And he disappeared from them. 32And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning in us as he spoke to us on the way, and as he opened the scriptures to us? 33And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven, and those with them, gathered together, 34saying, The Lord is indeed risen and has appeared to Simon. 35And they related what had happened on the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread.
36And as they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst, and says to them, Peace be unto you. 37But they, being confounded and being frightened, supposed they beheld a spirit. 38And he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why are thoughts rising in your hearts? 39behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones as ye see me having. 40And having said this he shewed them his hands and his feet. 41But while they yet did not believe for joy, and were wondering, he said to them, Have ye anything here to eat? 42And they gave him part of a broiled fish and of a honeycomb; 43and he took it and ate before them. 44And he said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all that is written concerning me in the law of Moses and prophets and psalms must be fulfilled. 45Then he opened their understanding to understand the scriptures, 46and said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved the Christ to suffer, and to rise from among 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. 48And ye are witnesses of these things. 49And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but do ye remain in the city till ye be clothed with power from on high.
50And he led them out as far as Bethany, and having lifted up his hands, he blessed them. 51And it came to pass as he was blessing them, he was separated from them and was carried up into heaven. 52And they, having done him homage, returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God.

Luke 24
24
Women Visit the Garden Tomb
1Now on the first day of the week, at daybreak, the women came to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared.
2They found the stone had been rolled away from the tomb;
3but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Yeshua.
4And while they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them.
5The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you search for the living among the dead?
6He is not here, but He is risen! Remember what He told you when He was still in the Galilee,
7saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be executed, and on the third day rise up.”
8And they were reminded of His words.
9And when they returned from the tomb, they told all these things to the eleven and to everyone else.
10Now it was Miriam from Magdala, Joanna, the Miriam of Jacob and others together with them who were telling these things to the emissaries.
11But these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they would not believe them.
12But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Leaning in, he sees only the linen cloths. And he went away to his home, marveling at what had happened.
Eyes Open in Emmaus
13Now behold, two of them on that very day were traveling to a village named Emmaus, a distance of about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14They were speaking with one another about all the things that had been happening.
15While they were talking and discussing, Yeshua Himself approached and began traveling with them.
16But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.
17Then He said to them, “What are these things you are discussing with one another as you are walking along?” They stood still, looking gloomy.
18Then the one named Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that happened there in these days?”
19Yeshua said to them, “What kind of things?” And they said to Him, “The things about Yeshua from Natzeret, who was a Prophet, powerful in deed and word before God and all the people—
20how the ruling kohanim and our leaders handed Him over to be sentenced to death, and they executed Him.
21But we were hoping that He was the One about to redeem Israel. Besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.
22“But also some women among us amazed us. Early in the morning they were at the tomb.
23When they didn’t find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said He is alive!
24Some of those with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women said, but they did not see Him.”
25Yeshua said to them, “Oh foolish ones, so slow of heart to put your trust in all that the prophets spoke!
26Was it not necessary for Messiah to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?”
27Then beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them the things written about Himself in all the Scriptures.
28They approached the village where they were going, and He acted as though He were going farther on.
29But they urged Him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is already gone.” So He went in to stay with them.
30And it happened that when He was reclining at the table with them, He took the matzah , offered a bracha and, breaking it, gave it to them.
31Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him, and He disappeared from them.
Good News for the Disciples in Jerusalem
32They said to one another, “Didn’t our heart burn within us while He was speaking with us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?”
33And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. They found the eleven and others with them gathered together,
34saying, “The Lord is risen indeed! He has appeared to Simon!”
35Then they began telling about the events on the road and how He became recognized by them in the breaking of the matzah .
36While they were speaking of these things, Yeshua Himself stood in the midst of them and said, “Shalom Aleichem!”
37But they were startled and terrified, thinking they were seeing a ghost.
38Then He said to them, “Why are you so shaken? And why do doubts arise in your heart?
39Look at My hands and My feet—it is I Myself! Touch Me and see! For a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
40And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
41But while they were still in disbelief due to joy and wonder, He said to them, “Do you have anything to eat here?”
42They gave Him a piece of broiled fish,
43and He took it and ate it in their presence.
44Then He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you—everything written concerning Me in the Torah of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.
45Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
46and He said to them, “So it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day,
47and that repentance for the removal of sins is to be proclaimed in His name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
48You are witnesses of these things.
49And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
Yeshua Ascends into Heaven
50Then Yeshua led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
51And while blessing them, He departed from them and was taken up into heaven.
52After worshiping Him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
53And they were continually in the Temple, praising God.
