Luke 24

1And on the first of the sabbaths, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bearing the spices they made ready, and certain <FI>others<Fi> with them,

1Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

2and they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb,

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

3and having gone 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, while they are perplexed about this, that lo, two men stood by them in glittering apparel,

4And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

5and on their having become afraid, and having inclined the face to the earth, they said to them, `Why do ye seek the living with the dead?

5And as they were afraid, 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 was raised; remember how he spake to you, being yet in Galilee,

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

7saying--It behoveth the Son of Man to be delivered up to the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again.'

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

8And they remembered his sayings,

8And they remembered his words,

9and having turned back from the tomb told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.

9And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

10And it was the Magdalene Mary, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women with them, who told unto the apostles these things,

10It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

11and their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they were not believing them.

11And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

12And Peter having risen, did run to the tomb, and having stooped down he seeth the linen clothes lying alone, and he went away to his own home, wondering at that which was come to pass.

12Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

13And, lo, two of them were going on during that day to a village, distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, the name of which <FI>is<Fi> Emmaus,

13And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.

14and they were conversing with one another about all these things that have happened.

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

15And it came to pass in their conversing and reasoning together, that Jesus himself, having come nigh, was going on with them,

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

16and their eyes were holden so as not to know him,

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

17and he said unto them, `What <FI>are<Fi> these words that ye exchange with one another, walking, and ye are sad?'

17And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

18And the one, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said unto him, `Art thou alone such a stranger in Jerusalem, that thou hast not known the things that came to pass in it in these days?'

18And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

19And he said to them, `What things?' And they said to him, `The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man--a prophet--powerful in deed and word, before God and all the people,

19And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

20how also the chief priests and our rulers did deliver him up to a judgment of death, and crucified him;

20And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

21and we were hoping that he it is who is about to redeem Israel, and also with all these things, this third day is passing to-day, since these things happened.

21But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

22`And certain women of ours also astonished us, coming early to the tomb,

22Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;

23and not having found his body, they came, saying also to have seen an apparition of messengers, who say he is alive,

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 those with us went away unto the tomb, and found as even the women said, and him they saw not.'

24And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

25And he said unto them, `O inconsiderate and slow in heart, to believe on all that the prophets spake!

25Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

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

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

27and having begun from Moses, and from all the prophets, he was expounding to them in all the Writings the things about himself.

27And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

28And they came nigh to the village whither they were going, and he made an appearance of going on further,

28And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

29and they constrained him, saying, `Remain with us, for it is toward evening,' and the day did decline, and he went in to remain with them.

29But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

30And it came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken, he was giving to them,

30And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

31and their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he became unseen by 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, as he was speaking to us in the way, and as he was opening up to us the Writings?'

32And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

33And they, having risen up the same hour, turned back to Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven, and those with them,

33And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

34saying--`The Lord was raised indeed, and was seen by Simon;'

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

35and they were telling the things in the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread,

35And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

36and as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, `Peace--to you;'

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

37and being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit.

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

38And he said to them, `Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings come up in your hearts?

38And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

39see my hands and my feet, that I am he; handle me and see, because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me having.'

39Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

40And having said this, he shewed to them the hands and the feet,

40And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

41and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, he said to them, `Have ye anything here to eat?'

41And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

42and they gave to him part of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb,

42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

43and having taken, he did eat before them,

43And he took it, and did eat before them.

44and he said to them, `These <FI>are<Fi> the words that I spake unto you, being yet with you, that it behoveth to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about me.'

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

45Then opened he up their understanding to understand the Writings,

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

46and he said to them--`Thus it hath been written, and thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead the third day,

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

47and reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem:

47And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

48and ye--ye are witnesses of these things.

48And ye are witnesses of these things.

49`And, lo, I do send the promise of my Father upon you, but ye--abide ye in the city of Jerusalem till ye be clothed with power from on high.'

49And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

50And he led them forth without--unto Bethany, and having lifted up his hands he did bless them,

50And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

51and it came to pass, in his blessing them, he was parted from them, and was borne up to the heaven;

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

52and they, having bowed before him, did turn back to Jerusalem with great joy,

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

53and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

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