Luke 24:2-26

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?
