Luke 24

Great^{(i) 1} But vpon the fyrst daye of the Sabbothes, very early in the mornynge, they came vnto the sepulcre, and brought the swete odoures whych they had prepared, and other wemen wyth them. ² And they founde the stone rowled awaye from the sepulcre, ³ and they went in: but founde not the body of the Lorde Iesu. ⁴ And it happened, as they were amased therat, Beholde, two men stode by them in shynynge garmentes. ⁵ And as they were afrayde, and bowed doune theyr faces to the erth, they sayde vnto them: why seke ye the lyuynge amonge the deed? ⁶ He is not here: but is rysen. Remember, how he spake vnto you, when he was yet in Galile, ⁷ sayinge: that the sonne of man must be delyuered into the handes of synfull men, and be crucyfyed, and the thyrde daye ryse agayne. ⁸ And they remembred hys wordes, ⁹ & returned from the sepulcre, & tolde all these thynges vnto those eleuen, & to all the remnaunt. ¹⁰ It was Mary Magdalen, & Ioanna, and Mary Iacobi, and other that were wyth them, whych tolde these thynges vnto the Apostles. ¹¹ And theyr wordes semed vnto them fayned thynges, nether beleued they them. ¹² Then arose Peter and ran vnto the sepulchre, and loked in, and sawe the lynnen clothes layde by them selfe, and departed, wondrynge in hym selfe at that whych had happened. ¹³ And beholde, two of them went that same daye to a towne (called Emaus) which was from Ierusalem about thre skore forlonges, ¹⁴ and they talked together of all these thynges that had happened. ¹⁵ And it chaunsed, that whyle they communed together and reasoned, Iesus hym selfe drue neare, and went wyth them. ¹⁶ But theyr eyes were holden, that they shulde not knowe hym. ¹⁷ And he sayde vnto them: What maner of communycacyons are these that ye haue one to another, as ye walke, and are sadd? ¹⁸ And the one of them (whose named was Cleophas) answered, and sayde to hym: art thou onely a straunger in Ierusalem, and hast not knowen the thynges whych haue chaunsed there, in these dayes? ¹⁹ He sayde vnto them: what thynges? And they sayd vnto hym: of Iesus of Nazareth, whych was a Prophet, myghtye in dede and worde before God and all the people: ²⁰ and how the hye Prestes, and oure rulers delyuered hym to be condempned to deeth: & haue crucyfyed hym. ²¹ But we trusted that it had bene he whych shuld haue redemed Israel. And as touchynge all these thynges, to daye is euen the thyrd daye, that they were done. ²² Yee, and certayne wemen also of oure company made vs astonnyed, which came early vnto the sepulchre, ²³ and founde not hys body: and came, sayinge, that they had sene a visyon of angels, whych sayd that he was alyue. ²⁴ And certayne of them whych were wyth vs, went to the sepulchre, and founde it euen so as the wemen had sayde: but hym they sawe not. ²⁵ And he sayde vnto them: O fooles & slowe of herte, to beleue all that the Prophetes haue spoken. ²⁶ Ought not Chryst to haue suffred these thynges, and to enter into hys glory? ²⁷ And he began at Moses, and all the Prophetes, & interpreted vnto them in all scriptures whych were wrytten of hym. ²⁸ And they drue nye vnto the towne, whych they went vnto. And he made, as though he wold haue gone further. ²⁹ And they constrayned hym sayinge: abyde wyth vs, for it draweth towardes nyght, and the daye is farre passed. And he went into tary wyth them. ³⁰ And it came to passe, as he sate at meate wyth them, he toke bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gaue to them. ³¹ And their eyes were opened, and they knewe hym: and he vanysshed out of their syght. ³² And they sayd betwene them selues: dyd not oure hertes burne wyth in vs, whyll he talked wyth vs by the waye, and opened to vs the scryptures? ³³ And they rose vp, the same houre, and returned agayne to Ierusalem, and founde the eleuen gathered together, and them that were wyth them, ³⁴ saying: the Lorde is rysen in dede, & hath apered to Symon. ³⁵ And they tolde, what thynges were done in the waye, and how they knewe hym, in breakynge of bread. ³⁶ As they thus spake Iesus hym selfe stode in the myddes of them, and sayeth vnto them: peace be vnto you. ³⁷ But they were abasshed and afrayde, & supposyd that they had sene a sprete. ³⁸ And he sayde vnto them: why are ye troubled, and why do thoughtes aryse in youre hertes? ³⁹ Beholde my handes and my fete, that it is euen I my selfe. Handle me and se: for a sprete hath not flesshe and bones, as ye se me haue. ⁴⁰ And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them hys handes and hys fete. ⁴¹ And whyll they yet beleued not for ioye, and wondred, he sayd vnto them: Haue ye here eny meate? ⁴² And they offred hym a pece of a broyled fysshe, and of an hony combe. ⁴³ And he toke it, and dyd eate before them. ⁴⁴ And he sayde vnto them. These are the wordes whych I spake vnto you, whyll I was yet with you: that all must nedes be fulfylled, whych were wrytten of me in the lawe of Moses and in the Prophetes, and in the Psalmes. ⁴⁵ Then opened he theyr wyttes, that they myght vnderstand the scryptures, ⁴⁶ and sayde vnto them: Thus is it wrytten, and thus it behoued Christ to suffre, and to ryse agayne from deeth the thyrde daye, ⁴⁷ & that repentaunce and remyssyon of synnes shulde be preached in hys name amonge all nacyons, and must begynne at Ierusalem. ⁴⁸ And ye are wytnesses of these thynges. ⁴⁹ And beholde, I will sende the promes of my father vpon you. But tary ye in the cytie of Ierusalem, vntyll ye be endewed wyth power from an hye. ⁵⁰ And he led them out into Bethany, and lyfte vp hys handes, and blessed them. ⁵¹ And it cam to passe, as he blessed them, he departed from them, and was caryed vp into heauen. ⁵² And they worshypped hym, and returned to Ierusalem wyth greate ioye, ⁵³ and were contynually in the temple praysynge & laudynge God, Amen.
