Luke 24

1And on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared.

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 back from the sepulchre.

2And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.

3And going in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

3And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

4And it came to pass, as they were astonished in their mind at this, behold, two men stood by them, in shining apparel.

4And it came to pass, while they were perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel:

5And as they were afraid and bowed down their countenance towards the ground, they said unto them: Why seek you the living with the dead?

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 spoke unto you, when he was yet in Galilee,

6He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

7Saying: The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and the third day rise again.

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.

8And they remembered his words,

9And going back from the sepulchre, they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

9and returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.

10And it was Mary Magdalen and Joanna and Mary of James and the other women that were with them, who told these things to the apostles.

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 seemed to them as idle tales: and they did not believe them.

11And these words appeared in their sight as idle talk; and they disbelieved them.

12But Peter rising up, ran to the sepulchre and, stooping down, he saw the linen cloths laid by themselves: and went away wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

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 went, the same day, to a town which was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, named Emmaus.

13And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was threescore furlongs from Jerusalem.

14And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

14And they communed with each other of all these things which had happened.

15And it came to pass that while they talked and reasoned with themselves, Jesus himself also, drawing near, went with them.

15And it came to pass, while they communed and questioned together, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

16But their eyes were held, that they should not know him.

16But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

17And he said to them: What are these discourses that you hold one with another as you walk and are sad?

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 the one of them, whose name was Cleophas, answering, said to him: Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things that have been done there in these days?

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?

19To whom he said: What things? And they said: Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people.

19And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

20And how our chief priests and princes delivered him to be condemned to death and crucified him.

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 that should have redeemed Israel. And now besides all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done.

21But we hoped that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yea and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass.

22Yea and certain women also of our company affrighted us who, before it was light, were at the sepulchre,

22Moreover certain women of our company amazed us, having been early at the tomb;

23And not finding his body, came, saying that they had all seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive.

23and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

24And some of our people went to the sepulchre and found it so as the women had said: but him they found not.

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.

25Then he said to them: O foolish and slow of heart to believe in all things, Which the prophets have spoken.

25And he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

26Ought not Christ to have suffered these things and so, to enter into his glory?

26Behooved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?

27And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things that were concerning him.

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 to the town whither they were going: and he made as though he would go farther.

28And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further.

29But they constrained him, saying: Stay with us, because it is towards evening and the day is now far spent. And he went in with them.

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, whilst he was at table with them, he took bread and blessed and brake and gave to them.

30And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the bread and blessed; and breaking it he gave to them.

31And their eyes were opened: and they knew him. And he vanished out of their sight.

31And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

32And they said one to the other: Was not our heart burning within us, whilst he spoke in the way and opened to us the scriptures?

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 rising up, the same hour, they went back to Jerusalem: and they found the eleven gathered together, and those that were with them,

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.

34saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

35And they told what things were done in the way: and how they knew him in the breaking of bread.

35And they rehearsed the things that happened in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread.

36Now, whilst they were speaking these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them and saith to them: Peace be to you. It is I: Fear not.

36And as they spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

37But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit.

37But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit.

38And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

38And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do questionings arise in your heart?

39See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Handle, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me to have.

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 feet.

40And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

41But while they yet believed not and wondered for joy, he said: Have you here any thing to eat?

41And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat?

42And they offered him a piece of a broiled fish and a honeycomb.

42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.

43And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them.

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 things must needs be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms, concerning me.

44And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me.

45Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.

45Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures;

46And he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead, the third day:

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 penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

47and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

48And you are witnesses of these things.

48Ye are witnesses of these things.

49And I send the promise of my Father upon you: but stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high.

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 as far as Bethania: and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.

50And he led them out untilthey were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

51And it came to pass, whilst he blessed them, he departed from them and was carried up to heaven.

51And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.

52And they adoring went back into Jerusalem with great joy.

52And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

53And they were always in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

53and were continually in the temple, blessing God.
