Luke 24

Now ^aupon the first day of the week, ^bvery early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing ^cthe spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. ²And they found ^ccthe stone rolled away from the sepulchre. ³And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴And it came to pass, as they were ^dmuch perplexed thereabout, behold, ^etwo ^fmen ^gstood by them ^fin shining garments: ⁵and as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? ⁶He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you ^hwhen he was yet in Galilee, ⁷saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and ⁱbe crucified, and ^jthe third day rise again. ⁸And ^kthey remembered his words, ^9land returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. ¹⁰It was Mary ^mMagdalene, and ⁿJoanna, and ^mMary the mother of James, ^oand other women that were with them, which told these things unto ^pthe apostles. ¹¹And their words seemed to them as ^qidle tales, and ^rthey believed them not. ^12sThen arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and ^tstooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering ^uin himself at that which was come to pass.

¹³And behold, ^wtwo of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore ^xfurlongs. ¹⁴And they talked together of all these things which had happened. ¹⁵And it came to pass, that while they communed together and reasoned, ^yJesus himself drew near, and went with them. ¹⁶But ^ztheir eyes were holden that they should not know him. ¹⁷And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye ^ahave one to another, as ye walk, and are ^bsad? ¹⁸And the one of them, whose name was ^cCleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? ¹⁹And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was ^da prophet ^emighty in deed and word before God and all the people: ^20fand how the chief priests and our ^ffrulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. ²¹But we trusted ^gthat it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. ²²Yea, and ^hcertain women also of our company made us astonished, which were ⁱearly at the sepulchre; ²³and ^kwhen they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen ^la vision of angels, ^mwhich said that he was alive. ²⁴And ⁿcertain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. ²⁵Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: ^26oought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? ^27pAnd beginning at ^qMoses and ^rall the prophets, he expounded unto them in ^pall the scriptures the things concerning himself. ²⁸And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and ^she made as though he would have gone further. ²⁹But they ^tconstrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is towards evening, and the day ^uis far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. ³⁰And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and ^xblessed it, and brake, and gave to them. ³¹And ^ytheir eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he ^zvanished out of their sight. ³²And they said one to another, Did not ^aour heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he ^bopened to us the scriptures? ³³And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, ^cand found the eleven gathered together, and ^dthem that were with them, ³⁴saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and ^ehath appeared to Simon. ³⁵And they told what things were done in the way, and how ^fhe was known of them in breaking of bread.

^36gAnd as they thus spake, Jesus himself ^hstood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, ^hiPeace be unto you. ³⁷But they were ^jterrified and affrighted, and ^ksupposed that they had seen a spirit. ³⁸And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do ^lthoughts arise in your hearts? ³⁹Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: ^llhandle me, and see; for a spirit hath not ^mflesh and bones, as ye see me have. ⁴⁰And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them ^mmhis hands and his feet. ⁴¹And while they yet ⁿbelieved not ⁿⁿfor joy, and wondered, he said unto them, ^oHave ye here any meat? ⁴²And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of a ^phoneycomb. ⁴³And he took it, and ^qdid eat before them. ⁴⁴And he said unto them, ^rThese are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things ^xmust be fulfilled, which were written in ^sthe law of Moses, and in ^sthe prophets, and in ^tthe psalms, concerning me. ⁴⁵Then ^uopened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, ⁴⁶and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus ^xit behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead ^ythe third day: ⁴⁷and that repentance and ^zremission of sins should be preached in his name ^aamong all nations, ^bbeginning at Jerusalem. ⁴⁸And ^cye are witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹And behold, I send ^dthe promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, ^euntil ye be endued with ^fpower from on high.

⁵⁰And he led them out ^gas far as to Bethany, and he lift up his hands, and blessed them. ⁵¹And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and ^hcarried up into heaven. ⁵²And they ⁱworshipped him, and ^kreturned to Jerusalem ^lwith great joy: ⁵³and were continually ^min the temple, praising and ⁿblessing God. Amen.
