Luke chapter 24 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn,
0:04
they came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had
0:06
prepared, and they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
0:09
But when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord
0:12
Jesus. While they were perplexed about
0:14
this, behold, 2 men suddenly stood near them in dazzling
0:17
clothing. And as the women were terrified
0:19
and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them,
0:22
Why do you seek the living One among the dead?
0:25
He is not here, but He is risen. Remember how He spoke to you
0:28
while He was still in Galilee, saying that the Son of Man must
0:31
be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified.
0:35
And the third day rise again. And they remembered His words,
0:38
and returned from the tomb, and reported all these things to the
0:41
11 and to all the rest. Now they were Mary Magdalene and
0:44
Joanna, and Mary the mother of James.
0:47
Also. The other women with them were
0:48
telling these things to the apostles, but these words
0:51
appeared to them as nonsense, and they would not believe them.
0:54
But Peter got up and ran to the tomb, stooping and looking in.
0:57
He saw the linen wrappings only. And he went away to his home,
1:00
marvelling at what had happened. And behold, 2 of them were going
1:03
that very day to a village called Emmaus, which was about 7
1:07
miles from Jerusalem. And they were talking with each
1:10
other about all these things which had taken place.
1:12
While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself
1:15
approached and began travelling with them.
1:17
But their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.
1:20
And he said to them, What are these words that you are
1:22
exchanging with one another as you are walking?
1:25
And they stood still, looking sad.
1:27
One of them named Cleopas answered and said to him, Are
1:30
you the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the
1:32
things which have happened here in these days?
1:35
And he said to them, What things?
1:37
And they said to him the things about Jesus the Nazarene, who
1:40
was a prophet, mighty in deed and word, in the sight of God
1:43
and all the people, and how the chief priests and our rulers
1:46
delivered him to the sentence of death and crucified him.
1:49
But we were hoping that it was he who was going to redeem
1:51
Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is
1:54
the third day since these things happened.
1:57
But also some women among us amazed us.
2:00
When they were at the tomb early in the morning and did not find
2:02
His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of
2:05
angels who said that He was alive.
2:08
Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it,
2:10
just exactly as the women also had said.
2:13
But Him they did not see. And He said to them, O foolish
2:16
men, and slow of heart, to believe in all that the prophets
2:19
have spoken. Was it not necessary for the
2:21
Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?
2:25
Then beginning with Moses, with all the prophets, he explained
2:27
to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
2:31
And they approached the village where they were going, and he
2:33
acted as though he were going farther.
2:35
But they urged him, saying, Stay with us, for it is getting
2:37
toward evening, and the day is now nearly over.
2:39
So he went in to stay with them. When he had reclined at the
2:42
table with them, he took the bread and blessed it, and
2:45
breaking it, he began giving it to them.
2:47
Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he
2:49
vanished from their sight. They said to one another, were
2:53
not our hearts burning within us while he was speaking to us on
2:55
the road while he was explaining the Scriptures to us and they
2:59
got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem and found
3:01
gathered together the 11 and those who were with him, saying,
3:05
the Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon began to
3:08
relate their experiences on the road and how they how he was
3:11
recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
3:14
While they were telling these things, he himself stood in
3:16
their midst and said to them, peace be to you.
3:19
But they were startled and frightened, and thought that
3:21
they were seeing a spirit. And he said to them, Why are you
3:23
troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?
3:26
See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself.
3:30
Touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as
3:33
you see it that I have. When he had said this, he showed
3:36
them his hands and his feet, while they still could not
3:39
believe it, because of their joy and amazement.
3:41
He said to them, Have you anything here to eat?
3:44
They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate it
3:47
before them. Now He said to them, These are
3:49
my words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that
3:53
all things which are written about me in the law of Moses and
3:56
the prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.
3:59
Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and
4:01
He said to them, Thus it is written that the Christ would
4:04
suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, and that
4:07
repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His
4:10
name to all the nations beginning from Jerusalem.
4:13
You are witnesses of these things, and behold, I am sending
4:16
forth the promise of my Father upon you.
4:18
But you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power
4:21
from on high. And he led them out as far as
4:24
Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
4:27
While he was blessing them, he parted from them and was carried
4:29
up into heaven. And they, after worshipping him,
4:32
returned to Jerusalem with great joy and were continually in the
4:35
temple praising God.
