|
1 |
Now on the first day of the week, very early in the
morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing
the spices which they had prepared.
|
|
|
2 |
But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. |
|
3 |
Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord
Jesus. |
|
4 |
And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about
this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.
|
|
5 |
Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the
earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?
|
|
6 |
He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to
you when He was still in Galilee,
|
|
7 |
saying, ‘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 |
Then they returned from the tomb and told all these
things to the eleven and to all the rest.
|
|
10 |
It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of
James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles.
|
|
11 |
And their words seemed to them like idle tales, and
they did not believe them.
|
|
12 |
But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down,
he saw the linen cloths lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to
himself at what had happened.
|
|
13 |
Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to
a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem.
|
|
14 |
And they talked together of all these things which had
happened. |
|
15 |
So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that
Jesus Himself drew near and went with them.
|
|
16 |
But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not
know Him. |
|
17 |
And He said to them, “What
kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and
are sad?”
|
|
18 |
Then the one whose 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?”
|
|
19 |
And He said to them,
“What things?” So they said to Him, “The
things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a Prophet mighty in deed and
word before God and all the people, |
|
20 |
and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him
to be condemned to death, and crucified Him.
|
|
21 |
But we were hoping that it was He who was going to
redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these
things happened.
|
|
22 |
Yes, and certain women of our company, who arrived at
the tomb early, astonished us.
|
|
23 |
When they did not find His body, they came saying that
they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive.
|
|
24 |
And certain 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.”
|
|
25 |
Then He said to them, “O
foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have
spoken!
|
|
26 |
Ought not the Christ to
have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?”
|
|
27 |
And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He
expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
|
|
28 |
Then they drew near to the village where they were
going, and He indicated that He would have gone farther.
|
|
29 |
But they constrained Him, saying, “Abide with us, for
it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to stay
with them.
|
|
30 |
Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them,
that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.
|
|
31 |
Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He
vanished from their sight.
|
|
32 |
And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn
within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the
Scriptures to us?”
|
|
33 |
So they rose up that very hour and returned to
Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered
together,
|
|
34 |
saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to
Simon!” |
|
35 |
And they told about the things that had happened on the
road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of bread.
|
|
36 |
Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in
the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to
you.”
|
|
37 |
But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed
they had seen a spirit.
|
|
38 |
And He said to them, “Why
are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?
|
|
39 |
Behold My hands and My
feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have
flesh and bones as you see I have.”
|
|
40 |
When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His
feet. |
|
41 |
But while they still did not believe for joy, and
marveled, He said to them, “Have you any food
here?”
|
|
42 |
So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some
honeycomb. |
|
43 |
And He took it and ate in their presence. |
|
44 |
Then He said to them,
“These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that
all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the
Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.”
|
|
45 |
And He opened their understanding, that they might
comprehend the Scriptures.
|
|
46 |
Then He said to them, “Thus
it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to
rise from the dead the third day,
|
|
47 |
and that repentance and
remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning
at Jerusalem.
|
|
48 |
And you are witnesses of
these things. |
|
49 |
Behold, I send the Promise
of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are
endued 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 |
Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was
parted from them and carried up into heaven.
|
|
52 |
And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with
great joy,
|
|
53 |
and were continually in the temple praising and
blessing God. Amen. |
