Luke-24
v1
But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.
v2
And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
v3
but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
v4
While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.
v5
And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?
v6
He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee,
v7
that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.”
v8
And they remembered his words,
v9
and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
v10
Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles,
v11
but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.
v12
But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.On the Road to Emmaus
v13
That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem,
v14
and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened.
v15
While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.
v16
But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
v17
And he said to them, “What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?” And they stood still, looking sad.
v18
Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?“
v19
And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
v20
and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
v21
But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.
v22
Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning,
v23
and when they did not find his body, they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
v24
Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see.”
v25
And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
v26
Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?“
v27
And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
v28
So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He acted as if he were going farther,
v29
but they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent.” So he went in to stay with them.
v30
When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them.
v31
And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight.
v32
They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?“
v33
And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,
v34
saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!“
v35
Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.Jesus Appears to His Disciples
v36
As they were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!“
v37
But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit.
v38
And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?
v39
See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”
v40
And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
v41
And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?“
v42
They gave him a piece of broiled fish,
v43
and he took it and ate before them.
v44
Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”
v45
Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
v46
and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead,
v47
and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
v48
You are witnesses of these things.
v49
And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”The Ascension
v50
And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.
v51
While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven.
v52
And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
v53
and were continually in the temple blessing God.
