Luke 24:3-19

³They went in the tomb, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there!

⁴They did not know what to think about that. Then suddenly two men wearing bright shining clothes stood by them!

⁵The women were frightened. As they prostrated themselves on the ground, the two men said to them, “◄You should not be seeking someone who is alive in a place where they bury dead people!/Why are you seeking in a place where they bury dead people someone who is alive?► RHQ

⁶He is not here; he has ◄become alive again/risen from the dead►! Remember that while he was still with you in Galilee district he said to you,

⁷‘ Even though I am the one who came from heaven, someone will enable sinful men to seize MTY me. They will kill me by nailing me to a cross. But on the third day after that, I will become alive again.’ ”

⁸The women remembered that he had said that.

⁹So they left the tomb and went to the eleven apostles and his other disciples and told them those things.

¹⁰The ones who kept telling those things to the apostles were Mary from Magdala village, Joanna, Mary who was the mother of James, and the other women who were with them.

¹¹But the apostles thought that what the women said was nonsense. They did not believe what the women said.

¹²But Peter got up and ran to the tomb anyway. He stooped down and looked inside. He saw the linen cloths in which Jesus' body had been wrapped. The cloths were by themselves (OR, He did not see anything else). So, wondering what had happened, he went home.

¹³That same day two of Jesus' disciples were walking to a village named Emmaus. It was about ◄seven miles/eleven kilometers► from Jerusalem.

¹⁴They were talking with each other about all the things that had happened to Jesus.

¹⁵While they were discussing those things, Jesus himself approached them and started walking with them.

¹⁶But they were prevented { something prevented them} from recognizing MTY him.

¹⁷Jesus said to them, “What have you two been talking about while you were walking?” They stopped, and their faces looked very sad.

¹⁸One of them, whose name was Cleopas, said, “◄You (sg) must be the only person who is visiting Jerusalem for the Passover festival who does not know the events that have happened there in recent days!/Are you the only person who is visiting Jerusalem for the Passover festival who does not know the events that have happened there in recent days?► RHQ”

¹⁹He said to them, “What events?” They replied, “ The things that happened to Jesus, the man from Nazareth, who was a prophet. Many people saw him perform great miracles, and God enabled him to teach wonderful messages!
