24:1

On the first day of the , very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

—

24:2

They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

—

24:3

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

—

24:4

While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

—

24:5

As the women bowed their faces to the ground in terror, the two men asked them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?

—

24:6

He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

—

24:7

‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

—

24:8

Then they remembered His words.

—

24:9

And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

—

24:10

It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

—

24:11

But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

—

24:12

Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. And after bending down and seeing only the linen cloths, he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

—

24:13

That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

—

24:14

They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

—

24:15

And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

—

24:16

But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

—

24:17

He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

—

24:18

One of them, named Cleopas, asked Him, “Are You the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in recent days?”

—

24:19

“What things?” He asked. “The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people.

—

24:20

Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

—

24:21

But we were hoping He was the One who would redeem Israel. And besides all this, it is the third day since these things took place.

—

24:22

Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

—

24:23

but they did not find His body. They came and told us they had seen a vision of angels, who said that Jesus was alive.

—

24:24

Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

—

24:25

Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

—

24:26

Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

—

24:27

And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

—

24:28

As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

—

24:29

But they pleaded with Him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So He went in to stay with them.

—

24:30

While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

—

24:31

Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

—

24:32

They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us as He spoke with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

—

24:33

And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

—

24:34

and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

—

24:35

Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

—

24:36

While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

—

24:37

But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

—

24:38

“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

—

24:39

Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

—

24:40

And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

—

24:41

While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

—

24:42

So they gave Him a piece of broiled ,

—

24:43

and He took it and ate it in front of them.

—

24:44

Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.”

—

24:45

Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

—

24:46

And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

—

24:47

in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

—

24:48

You are witnesses of these things.

—

24:49

And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

—

24:50

When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

—

24:51

While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

—

24:52

And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

—

24:53

praising God continually in the temple.
