Luke 24:1–27

The Resurrection

Matt. 28:1–8; Mark 16:1–8; John 20:1–10

24Now ^aon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, ¹and certain other women with them, came to the tomb ^bbringing the spices which they had prepared. ^2cBut they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. ^3dThen they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴And it happened, as they were ²greatly perplexed about this, that ^ebehold, two men stood by them in shining garments. ⁵Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? ⁶He is not here, but is risen! ^fRemember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, ⁷saying, ‘The Son of Man must be ^gdelivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’ ”

⁸And ^hthey remembered His words. ⁹ⁱThen they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. ¹⁰It was Mary Magdalene, ^jJoanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles. ^11kAnd their words seemed to them like ³idle tales, and they did not believe them. ^12lBut Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths ⁴lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at what had happened.

Christ Appears on the Road to Emmaus

Mark 16:12, 13

^13mNow behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was ⁵seven miles from Jerusalem. ¹⁴And they talked together of all these things which had happened. ¹⁵So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that ⁿJesus Himself drew near and went with them. ¹⁶But ^otheir eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him.

¹⁷And He said to them, “What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you ⁶walk and are sad?”

¹⁸Then the one ^pwhose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not known the things which happened there in these days?”

¹⁹And He said to them, “What things?”

So they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, ^qwho was a Prophet ^rmighty in deed and word before God and all the people, ^20sand how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and crucified Him. ²¹But we were hoping ^tthat it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened. ²²Yes, and ^ucertain women of our company, who arrived at the tomb early, astonished us. ²³When they did not find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive. ²⁴And ^vcertain of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but Him they did not see.”

²⁵Then He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! ^26wOught not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His ^xglory?” ²⁷And beginning at ^yMoses and ^zall the Prophets, He ⁷expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
