MLV(i)
1 Now on the first day of the week, from the deep fog of daybreak, they and some others together with them came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
2 Now they found the stone has been rolled away from the tomb.
3 And having entered in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it happened, while they are perplexed concerning this, behold, two men stood by them in flashing white apparel.
5 Now when they became fearful and bowed their faces down toward the earth, then they said to them, Why are you seeking the living with the dead?
6 He is not here, but was raised. Remember how he spoke to you, being still in Galilee,
7 saying that it is essential for the Son of Man to be given up into the hands of sinful men and to be crucified and to rise up in the third day?
8 And they were reminded of his declarations.
9 And having returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now those who were saying these things to the apostles were: Mary the Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the rest of the women together with them. 11 And their declarations appeared like nonsense in their sight, and they were disbelieving them. 12 But Peter, having stood up, ran to the tomb, and stooped down and peered in. He sees the linen-strips laying alone, and he went away to his home, marveling at what has happened.
13 And behold, two out of them were traveling that same day to a village whose name was Emmaus, which was sixty furlongs distant from Jerusalem. 14 And they were conversing with one another concerning all these things which have befallen them. 15 And it happened, while they are conversing and debating together, that Jesus himself, having drawn near, was traveling together with them. 16 But their eyes were being held-fast so as not to recognize him. 17 But he said to them, What words are these which you are exchanging back and forth with one another, while walking? and you have a gloomy face, why?
18 But one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to him, Are you sojourning alone in Jerusalem and did not know of the things which have happened in her in these days?
19 And he said to them, What things?
But they said to him, The things concerning Jesus from Nazareth, who became a prophet, a mighty man in works and word in front of God and all the people; 20 and how the high-priests and our rulers gave him up to the condemnation of death and crucified him. 21 Now we were hoping that he was the one who is about to redeem Israel. But yet today, together with all these things, is bringing us the third day from which these things happened. 22 But some women from among us also astonished us, having happened to be at the tomb at daybreak, 23 and having not found his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of messengers, who said he was alive. 24 And some of those who were together with us, went to the tomb and also found it so, just-as the women had also said, but they did not see him.
25 And he said to them, O you foolish ones and slow in heart to believe upon all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Was it not essential for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he was clarifying for them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. 28 And they drew near to the village, where they were traveling and he was making-like that he was to travel farther.
29 And they constrained him, saying, Abide with us, because it is toward dusk and the day is far-spent. And he entered in to abide together with them. 30 And it happened, while he was reclining with them at the table, and having taken the bread, he gave-thanks and breaking it he was giving it to them.
31 Now their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he became unapparent from them. 32 And they said to one another, Were our hearts not burning in side us, as he was speaking to us on the road, and as he was opening the Scriptures to us?
33 And that same hour they stood up and returned to Jerusalem and found the eleven and those who have been accumulated together with them, 34 saying, The Lord was really raised and was seen by Simon. 35 And they were describing the things which happened on the road and how he was known by them in the breaking of the bread.
36 Now while they are speaking these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them and says to them, Peace is to you. 37 But they became terrified and fearful and were thinking that they had viewed a spirit. 38 And he said to them, Why are you disturbed? And why do questions come up in your hearts? 39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones, like you view me having. 40 And having said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41 But still disbelieving this from joy and marveling; he said to them, Do you have anything edible here? 42 Now they gave part of a broiled fish to him and part of the honeycomb. 43 And he took and ate it in their sight.
44 Now he said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you, being still together with you, that it is essential for all things to be fulfilled, which have been written in the Law of Moses and the prophets and the Psalms, concerning me. 45 Then he opened their mind to understand the Scriptures.
46 And he said to them, Thus it has been written, that it was essential for the Christ to suffer and to rise up from the dead in the third day; 47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 Now you are witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you, but you stick-around in the city of Jerusalem, until you should be clothed with power from on high.
50 Now he led them outside until they were in Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 And it happened, while he blesses them, he stood away from them and was being carried up into heaven. 52 And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy 53 and they were always in the temple, praising and thanking God.
Amen.
