Luke 24:9-37

⁹Then they returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the Eleven, and to all the rest.

¹⁰They were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them, who told these things to the apostles.

¹¹But their words seemed to them like nonsense, and they disbelieved them.

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

¹³And then that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

¹⁴And they were conversing with each other about all that had happened.

¹⁵And then, as they were conversing and discussing, Jesus Himself came up and started going with them.

¹⁶But their eyes were restrained, in order that they not recognize Him.

¹⁷So He said to them, “What words are these that you are exchanging with one another as you walk, and are gloomy?”

¹⁸Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are you the only one living in Jerusalem who doesn't know the things that have happened there in these days?”

¹⁹He said to them, “What things?” So they said to Him: “The things concerning Jesus the Natsorean, how the man 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.

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

²²Moreover certain women of our group astonished us—arriving early at the tomb,

²³and not finding his body, they came saying that they had even 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 foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the Prophets have spoken!

²⁶Was it really not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into His glory?”

²⁷And beginning from Moses, and then all the Prophets, He explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

²⁸Then they approached the village where they were going, and He made as though He would keep going.

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

³⁰And then, as He was reclining with them, He took the bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.

³¹Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He became invisible to them.

³²They said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked to us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”

³³So they got up forthwith and returned to Jerusalem, where they found the Eleven gathered together; also those with them,

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

³⁵Then they described what happened on the road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

³⁶As they were saying these things, indeed, Jesus Himself stood in their midst, and He said to them, “Peace to you.”

³⁷But they, terrified, supposed they were seeing a ghost, and were becoming fearful.
