Luke 24

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 # 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. # Lit and inclined their faces to the ground
“Why are you looking for the living among the dead? ” asked the men. 6“He is not here, but He has been resurrected! # 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, ‘The Son of Man must 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. # Other mss add lying there # Lk 23:53 So he went home, 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 # Lit village, which name is Emmaus, which was about seven miles # Lit about 60 stadia ; 1 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 # 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 # 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 the Nazarene, # 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 unwise and slow you are to believe in your hearts all that the prophets have spoken! # Lk 16:31; 18:31; Ac 26:27; 2Pt 1:21 26Didn’t the Messiah have 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 32So they said to each other, “Weren’t our hearts ablaze 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, # Gk is specific that this refers to the Eleven and those with them. “The Lord has certainly 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
36And # Jn 20:19-20 as they were saying these things, He Himself stood among them. 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 unbelieving because of their joy, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat? ” 42So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish, # Other mss add and some honeycomb 43and He took it and ate in their presence.
44Then He 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: # Other mss add and thus it was necessary that The Messiah would 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 # Other mss read repentance and forgiveness of sins # Hs 14:2; Lk 3:3; Ac 2:38; 5:31; 8:22 would 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 # 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 # Other mss add of Jerusalem until you are empowered # Lit clothed with power # Ac 4:33; Rm 15:13 from on high.”
The Ascension of Jesus
50Then He led them out as far as 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 complex praising God. # Other mss read praising and blessing God. Amen. # Ac 2:46; 3:1; 5:42

Luke 24
24
1 Then, on the first Sabbath, at very first light, they went to the tomb, carrying the aromatic spices that they had prepared.
2 And they found the stone rolled back from the tomb.
3 And upon entering, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it happened that, while their minds were still confused about this, behold, two men stood beside them, in shining apparel.
5 Then, since they were afraid and were turning their faces toward the ground, these two said to them: "Why do you seek the living with the dead?
6 He is not here, for he has risen. Recall how he spoke to you, when he was still in Galilee,
7 saying: 'For the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.' "
8 And they called to mind his words.
9 And returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven, and to all the others.
10 Now it was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women who were with them, who told these things to the Apostles.
11 But these words seemed to them a delusion. And so they did not believe them.
12 But Peter, rising up, ran to the tomb. And stooping down, he saw the linen cloths positioned alone, and he went away wondering to himself about what had happened.
13 And behold, two of them went out, on the same day, to a town named Emmaus, which was the distance of sixty stadia from Jerusalem.
14 And they spoke to one another about all of these things that had occurred.
15 And it happened that, while they were speculating and questioning within themselves, Jesus himself, drawing near, traveled with them.
16 But their eyes were restrained, so that they would not recognize him.
17 And he said to them, "What are these words, which you are discussing with one another, as you walk and are sad?"
18 And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, responded by saying to him, "Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?"
19 And he said to them, "What things?" And they said, "About Jesus of Nazareth, who was a noble prophet, powerful in works and in words, before God and all the people.
20 And how our high priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death. And they crucified him.
21 But we were hoping that he would be the Redeemer of Israel. And now, on top of all this, today is the third day since these things have happened.
22 Then, too, certain women from among us terrified us. For before daytime, they were at the tomb,
23 and, having not found his body, they returned, saying that they had even seen a vision of Angels, who said that he is alive.
24 And some of us went out to the tomb. And they found it just as the women had said. But truly, they did not find him."
25 And he said to them: "How foolish and reluctant in heart you are, to believe everything that has been spoken by the Prophets!
26 Was not the Christ required to suffer these things, and so enter into his glory?"
27 And beginning from Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted for them, in all the Scriptures, the things that were about him.
28 And they drew near to the town where they were going. And he conducted himself so as to go on further.
29 But they were insistent with him, saying, "Remain with us, because it is toward evening and now daylight is declining." And so he entered with them.
30 And it happened that, while he was at table with them, he took bread, and he blessed and broke it, and he extended it to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their eyes.
32 And they said to one another, "Was not our heart burning within us, while he was speaking on the way, and when he opened the Scriptures to us?"
33 And rising up at that same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
34 saying: "In truth, the Lord has risen, and he has appeared to Simon."
35 And they explained the things that were done on the way, and how they had recognized him at the breaking of the bread.
36 Then, while they were talking about these things, Jesus stood in their midst, And he said to them: "Peace be with you. It is I. Do not be afraid."
37 Yet truly, they were very disturbed and terrified, supposing that they saw a spirit.
38 And he said to them: "Why are you disturbed, and why do these thoughts rise up in your hearts?
39 See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Look and touch. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have."
40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.
41 Then, while they were still in disbelief and in wonder out of joy, he said, "Do you have anything here to eat?"
42 And they offered him a piece of roasted fish and a honeycomb.
43 And when he had eaten these in their sight, taking up what was left, he gave it to them.
44 And he said to them: "These are the words that I spoke to you when I was still with you, because all things must be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms about me."
45 Then he opened their mind, so that they might understand the Scriptures.
46 And he said to them: "For so it is written, and so it was necessary, for the Christ to suffer and to rise up from the dead on the third day,
47 and, in his name, for repentance and the remission of sins to be preached, among all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And you are witnesses of these things.
49 And I am sending the Promise of my Father upon you. But you must stay in the city, until such time as you are clothed with power from on high."
50 Then he led them out as far as Bethania. And lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
51 And it happened that, while he was blessing them, he withdrew from them, and he was carried up into heaven.
52 And worshiping, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
53 And they were always in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
