Luke 24

Anderson^{(i) 1} And on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the sepulcher, bringing the spices which they had prepared; and with them came certain others. ² And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher; ³ and they entered in, but found not the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ And it came to pass, while they were much perplexed at this, behold, two men stood by them in shining raiment. ⁵ And while they feared and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them: Why seek you among the dead for him that lives? ⁶ He is not here, but he has risen; remember that he spoke to you while he was yet in Galilee, ⁷ saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. ⁸ And they remembered his words, ⁹ and returned from the sepulcher, and told all these things to the eleven and to the rest. ¹⁰ It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James, and the others with them, that told these things to the apostles. ¹¹ And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. ¹² But Peter arose and ran to the sepulcher, and stooping down, he saw the linen clothes lying by themselves; and he departed, wondering in himself at that which had come to pass. ¹³ And, behold, two of them were going, on the same day, to a village called Emmaus, distant from Jerusalem sixty furlongs. ¹⁴ And they were talking to one another about all these things which had taken place. ¹⁵ And it came to pass, that, while they conversed and reasoned together, Jesus himself drew near, and went on with them. ¹⁶ But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not recognize him. ¹⁷ And he said to them: What matters are these which you are discussing with one another as you walk and are sad? ¹⁸ And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered and said to him: Are you only a stranger in Jerusalem, and have not known the things that have taken place there in these days? ¹⁹ And he said to them: What things? They said to him: The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and in word before God and all the people; ²⁰ and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. ²¹ But we trusted that it was he that was about to redeem Israel. And besides all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done. ²² And further, certain women of our company, who were early at the sepulcher, astonished us: ²³ for they found not his body, and came and told that they had seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. ²⁴ And some of those who were with us went to the sepulcher, and found it even as the women had said, but him they saw not. ²⁵ And he said to them: inconsiderate, and slow of heart to believe all things that the prophets have spoken! ²⁶ Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? ²⁷ And beginning from Moses, and all the prophets, he explained to them, in all the Scriptures, the things concerning himself. ²⁸ And they drew near the village to which they were going; and he made as if he would go further. ²⁹ And they constrained him, saying: Remain with us, for it is near the evening, and the day has declined. And he went in to remain with them. ³⁰ And it came to pass, while he reclined at table with them, that he took bread and blessed; and he broke, and gave it to them. ³¹ And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he disappeared from them. ³² And they said one to an other, Did not our heart burn within us while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? ³³ And they arose the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven, and those who were with them, assembled, ³⁴ and saying: The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon. ³⁵ And they told what had taken place on the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread. ³⁶ And while they were speaking of these things, Jesus him self stood in the midst of them, and said to them: Peace be to you. ³⁷ But they were terrified and frightened, and thought that they saw a spirit. ³⁸ And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? ³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me have. ⁴⁰ And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. ⁴¹ And while they did not believe as yet for joy, and were astonished, he said to them: Have you any thing here to eat? ⁴² And they gave him a piece of broiled fish, and of a honey comb. ⁴³ And he took it, and did eat before them. ⁴⁴ And he said to them: These are the words that I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled that are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their mind, that they might understand the scriptures, ⁴⁶ and he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus was it necessary that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day, ⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹ And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you. But do you remain in the city of Jerusalem, till you be clothed with power from on high. ⁵⁰ And he led them out as far as Bethany; and he lifted up his hands and blessed them. ⁵¹ And it came to pass, that as he blessed them, he was separated from them, and carried up into heaven. ⁵² And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy; ⁵³ and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.
