Luke 24:1-34

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.
