Luke 24:9-42

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

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

¹¹And these words seemed to them as an idle tale, and they did not believe them.

¹³And lo! two of them were going the same day to a village called Emmaus, distant a hundred and sixty furlongs from Jerusalem.

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

¹⁵And it came to pass, while they were conversing and reasoning, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

¹⁶But their eyes were restrained from knowing him.

¹⁷And he said to them, What discourse is this which ye have one with another, as ye are walking? And they stood sad.

¹⁸And one, whose name was Cleopas, answering said to him, Art thou the only sojourner in Jerusalem that doth not know the things which have come to pass there in these days?

¹⁹And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things relating to Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in word and deed before God and all the people;

²⁰and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

²¹But we are hoping that it is he who is to redeem Israel; moreover, besides all this, it is the third day since these things were done.

²²And furthermore certain women of our company have amazed us; for going early to the tomb,

²³they did not find his body, and came, saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

²⁴And some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it to be as the women had said; but him they saw not.

²⁵And he said to them, O dull of apprehension, and slow of heart to believe all that the Prophets have spoken!

²⁶Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things, and enter into his glory?

²⁷And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

²⁸And they drew near to the village whither they were going; and he made as though he would go further.

²⁹But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us, for it is towards evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to stay with them.

³⁰And it came to pass, as he was at table with them, that he took the bread, and blessed it, and broke and gave it to them.

³¹And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

³²And they said one to another, Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked with us on the way, while he opened to us the Scriptures?

³³And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,

³⁴saying, The Lord hath risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

³⁵And they told what had happened on the way, and how he became known to them in the breaking of the bread.

³⁶And while they were thus speaking, he himself stood in the midst of them.

³⁷But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit.

³⁸And he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

³⁹See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

⁴¹And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, Have ye anything here to eat?

⁴²And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.
