Luke 24:1–27

Jesus Is Risen!

^1aNow on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.

²And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

³but when they entered, they did not find the body of ^athe Lord Jesus.

⁴And it happened that while they were perplexed about this, behold, ^atwo men suddenly ^bstood near them in dazzling clothing,

⁵and when the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living One among the dead?

⁶“He is not here, but He ^ahas ¹risen. Remember how He spoke to you ^bwhile He was still in Galilee,

⁷saying that ^athe Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.”

⁸And ^athey remembered His words,

⁹and when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

¹⁰Now ^aMary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the rest of the women with them were there; they were telling these things to ^bthe apostles.

¹¹But these words appeared ¹to them as nonsense, and they ^awere not believing them.

¹²But Peter stood up and ^aran to the tomb; and stooping to look in, he ^*saw the linen wrappings ¹only. And he went away ^bby himself, marveling at what had happened.

The Road to Emmaus

¹³And behold, ^atwo of them were going that same day to a village named Emmaus, which was ¹sixty stadia from Jerusalem.

¹⁴And they were conversing with each other about all these things which had happened.

¹⁵And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus Himself approached and was going with them.

¹⁶But ^atheir eyes were prevented from recognizing Him.

¹⁷And He said to them, “What are these words that you are discussing with one another as you are walking?” And they stood still, looking sad.

¹⁸And one of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, “Are You ¹the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?”

¹⁹And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things about ^aJesus the Nazarene, who was a mighty ^bprophet in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people,

²⁰and how the chief priests and our ^arulers delivered Him to the sentence of death, and crucified Him.

²¹“But we were hoping that it was He who was going to ^aredeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened.

²²“But also some women among us astounded us. ^aWhen they were at the tomb early in the morning,

²³and not finding His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive.

²⁴“Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just exactly as the women also said, but Him they did not see.”

²⁵And He said to them, “O foolish ones and slow of heart to believe in all that ^athe prophets have spoken!

²⁶“^aWas it not necessary for the ¹Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?”

²⁷Then beginning ¹with ^aMoses and ²with all the ^bprophets, He interpreted to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
