Luke 24:7-43

⁷saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’ ”

⁸And they remembered His words.

⁹And returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

¹⁰It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the rest with them, who told these things to the apostles.

¹¹And their words seemed like nonsense before them, and they disbelieved them.

¹²But Peter rose up and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen strips lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at what had happened.

¹³Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

¹⁴And they were conversing with one another about all these things which had happened.

¹⁵So it was, as they were conversing and discussing, that Jesus Himself drew near and started to travel with them.

¹⁶But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not recognize Him.

¹⁷And He said to them, “What are these words which you are exchanging with one another as you walk, and you have a gloomy look?”

¹⁸Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and do not know what has happened in it in these days?”

¹⁹And He said to them, “What things?” So they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who proved to be a man who was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,

²⁰and how the chief priests and our rulers handed Him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified Him.

²¹But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.

²²Moreover certain women of our group astonished us, after they arrived early at the tomb.

²³And not finding His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive.

²⁴And certain of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said; but Him they did not see.”

²⁵Then He said to them, “O you foolish, 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 beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

²⁸Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and He made as though He was going farther.

²⁹But they constrained Him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to stay with them.

³⁰Now it came to pass, as He was reclining to eat with them, having taken bread, He blessed and broke it, and He gave it to them.

³¹Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight.

³²And they said to one another, “Was not our heart burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, and while He was interpreting the Scriptures to us?”

³³So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,

³⁴saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”

³⁵And they described the things that had happened on the road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of bread.

³⁶Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.”

³⁷But being alarmed and becoming fearful, they thought they saw a spirit.

³⁸And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?

³⁹Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.”

⁴⁰When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

⁴¹But as they still disbelieved for joy, and marveled, He said to them, “Do you have any food here?”

⁴²So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.

⁴³And taking it, He ate it in their presence.
