Luke 24:9-42

⁹And they went away from that place and gave an account of all these things to the eleven disciples and all the others.

¹⁰Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James: and the other women with them said these things to the Apostles.

¹¹But these words seemed foolish to them, and they had no belief in them.

¹²But Peter got up and went to the place where the body had been put, and looking in he saw nothing but the linen cloths, and he went to his house full of wonder at what had taken place.

¹³And then, two of them, on that very day, were going to a little town named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

¹⁴And they were talking together about all those things which had taken place.

¹⁵And while they were talking and questioning together, Jesus himself came near and went with them.

¹⁶But their eyes were not open that they might have knowledge of him.

¹⁷And he said to them, What are you talking about together while you go?

¹⁸Then stopping, and looking sadly at him, one of them, named Cleopas, said to him, Are you the only man living in Jerusalem who has not had news of the things which have taken place there at this time?

¹⁹And he said to them, What things? And they said, The things to do with Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, great in his acts and his words, before God and all the people:

²⁰And how the chief priests and our rulers gave him up to be put to death on the cross.

²¹But we were hoping that he would be the Saviour of Israel. In addition to all this he has now let three days go by from the time when these things took place;

²²And certain women among us gave us cause for wonder, for they went early to the place where his body had been put,

²³And it was not there; then they came saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was living.

²⁴And some of those who were with us went to the place, and saw that it was as the women had said, but him they did not see.

²⁵And he said, O foolish men! how slow you are to give belief to what the prophets have said.

²⁶Was it not necessary for the Christ to go through these things, and to come into his glory?

²⁷And he made clear to them all the things in the Writings, from Moses and from all the prophets, which had to do with himself.

²⁸And they came near the town to which they were going, and he seemed as if he was going on;

²⁹But they kept him back, saying, Do not go, for evening is near, the day is almost gone. And he went in with them.

³⁰And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them.

³¹And then their eyes were open, and they had knowledge of him, but he went from their view.

³²And they said to one another, Were not our hearts burning in us while he was talking to us on the way, making clear to us the holy Writings?

³³And that very hour they got up and went back to Jerusalem, where the eleven and the others had come together.

³⁴And they said to them, The Lord has truly come back to life again, and Simon has seen him.

³⁵And they gave an account of the things which had taken place on the way, and how, when he gave them bread, they had knowledge of him.

³⁶And while they were saying these things, he himself was among them, and said to them, Peace be with you!

³⁷But they were full of fear, being of the opinion that they were seeing a spirit.

³⁸And he said to them, Why are you troubled, and why are your hearts full of doubt?

³⁹See; my hands and my feet: it is I myself; put your hands on me and make certain; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.

⁴⁰And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his feet.

⁴¹And because, for joy and wonder, they were still in doubt, he said to them, Have you any food here?

⁴²And they gave him a bit of cooked fish.
