1 |
But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they
came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.
|
|
|
2 |
And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, |
|
3 |
but when they entered, they did not find the body of
the Lord Jesus.
|
|
4 |
While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men
suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing;
|
|
5 |
and as 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 has risen. Remember how He
spoke to you while He was still in Galilee,
|
|
7 |
saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the
hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.”
|
|
8 |
And they remembered His words, |
|
9 |
and returned from the tomb and reported all these
things to the eleven and to all the rest.
|
|
10 |
Now they were Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the
mother of James; also the other women with them were telling these things to
the apostles.
|
|
11 |
But these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they
would not believe them.
|
|
12 |
But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and
looking in, he saw the linen wrappings only; and he went away to his home,
marveling at what had happened.
|
|
13 |
And behold, two of them were going that very day to a
village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.
|
|
14 |
And they were talking with each other about all these
things which had taken place.
|
|
15 |
While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself
approached and began traveling with them.
|
|
16 |
But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. |
|
17 |
And He said to them,
“What are these words that you are exchanging
with one another as you are walking?” And they stood still, looking
sad. |
|
18 |
One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him,
“Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which
have happened here in these days?”
|
|
19 |
And He said to them, “What
things?” And they said to Him, “The things about Jesus the Nazarene,
who was a prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the
people,
|
|
20 |
and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him
to the sentence of death, and crucified Him.
|
|
21 |
“But we were hoping that it was He who was going to
redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these
things happened.
|
|
22 |
“But also some women among us amazed us. When they
were at the tomb early in the morning,
|
|
23 |
and did not find 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 had said; but Him they did not see.”
|
|
25 |
And He said to them, “O
foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have
spoken!
|
|
26 |
“Was it not necessary for
the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?”
|
|
27 |
Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He
explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
|
|
28 |
And they approached the village where they were going,
and He acted as though He were going farther.
|
|
29 |
But they urged Him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is
getting toward evening, and the day is now nearly over.” So He went in to
stay with them.
|
|
30 |
When He had reclined at the table with them, He took
the bread and blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them.
|
|
31 |
Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him;
and He vanished from their sight.
|
|
32 |
They said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning
within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining
the Scriptures to us?”
|
|
33 |
And they got up that very hour and returned to
Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven and those who were with
them,
|
|
34 |
saying, “The Lord has really risen and has appeared to
Simon.” |
|
35 |
They began to relate their experiences on the road and
how He was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
|
|
36 |
While they were telling these things, He Himself stood
in their midst and said to them, “Peace be to
you.”
|
|
37 |
But they were startled and frightened and thought that
they were seeing a spirit.
|
|
38 |
And He said to them, “Why
are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?
|
|
39 |
“See My hands and My feet,
that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and
bones as you see that I have.”
|
|
40 |
And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and
His feet.
|
|
41 |
While they still could not believe it because of their
joy and amazement, He said to them, “Have you
anything here to eat?”
|
|
42 |
They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish; |
|
43 |
and He took it and ate it before them. |
|
44 |
Now He said to them, “These
are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all
things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and
the Psalms must be fulfilled.”
|
|
45 |
Then He opened their minds to understand the
Scriptures, |
|
46 |
and He said to them, “Thus
it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the
third day,
|
|
47 |
and that repentance for
forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations,
beginning from Jerusalem.
|
|
48 |
“You are witnesses of these
things. |
|
49 |
“And behold, I am sending
forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city
until you are clothed with power from on high.”
|
|
50 |
And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up
His hands and blessed them.
|
|
51 |
While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was
carried up into heaven.
|
|
52 |
And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem
with great joy,
|
|
53 |
and were continually in the temple praising God. |
