| 1 | But on the morrow of the sabbath, very early indeed in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the aromatic spices which they had prepared. |
| 2 | And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. |
| 3 | And when they had entered they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. |
| 4 | And it came to pass as they were in perplexity about it, that behold, two men suddenly stood by them in shining raiment. |
| 5 | And as they were filled with fear and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living one among the dead? |
| 6 | He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke to you, being yet in Galilee, |
| 7 | saying, The Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and rise the third day. |
| 8 | And they remembered his words; |
| 9 | and, returning from the sepulchre, related all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. |
| 10 | Now it was Mary of Magdala, and Johanna, and Mary the [mother] of James, and the others with them, who told these things to the apostles. |
| 11 | And their words appeared in their eyes as an idle tale, and they disbelieved them. |
| 12 | But Peter, rising up, ran to the sepulchre, and stooping down he sees the linen clothes lying there alone, and went away home, wondering at what had happened. |
| 13 | And behold, two of them were going on the same day to a village distant sixty stadia from Jerusalem, called Emmaus; |
| 14 | and they conversed with one another about all these things which had taken place. |
| 15 | And it came to pass as they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus himself drawing nigh, went with them; |
| 16 | but their eyes were holden so as not to know him. |
| 17 | And he said to them, What discourses are these which pass between you as ye walk, and are downcast? |
| 18 | And one [of them], named Cleopas, answering said to him, Thou sojournest alone in Jerusalem, and dost not know what has taken place in it in these days? |
| 19 | And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazaraean, 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 up to [the] judgment of death and crucified him. |
| 21 | But *we* had hoped that *he* was [the one] who is about to redeem Israel. But then, besides all these things, it is now, to-day, the third day since these things took place. |
| 22 | And withal, certain women from amongst us astonished us, having been very early at the sepulchre, |
| 23 | and, not having found his body, came, saying that they also had seen a vision of angels, who say that he is living. |
| 24 | And some of those with us went to the sepulchre, and found it so, as the women also had said, but him they saw not. |
| 25 | And *he* said to them, O senseless 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 having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. |
| 28 | And they drew near to the village where they were going, and *he* made as though he would go farther. |
| 29 | And they constrained him, saying, Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is declining. And he entered in to stay with them. |
| 30 | And it came to pass as he was at table with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken it, gave it to them. |
| 31 | And their eyes were opened, and they recognised him. And he disappeared from them. |
| 32 | And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning in us as he spoke to us on the way, [and] as he opened the scriptures to us? |
| 33 | And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven, and those with them, gathered together, |
| 34 | saying, The Lord is indeed risen and has appeared to Simon. |
| 35 | And they related what [had happened] on the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread. |
| 36 | And as they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst, and says to them, Peace [be] unto you. |
| 37 | But they, being confounded and being frightened, supposed they beheld a spirit. |
| 38 | And he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why are thoughts rising in your hearts? |
| 39 | behold my hands and my feet, that it is *I* myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones as ye see me having. |
| 40 | And having said this he shewed them his hands and his feet. |
| 41 | But while they yet did not believe for joy, and were wondering, he said to them, Have ye anything here to eat? |
| 42 | And they gave him part of a broiled fish and of a honeycomb; |
| 43 | and he took it and ate before them. |
| 44 | And he said to them, These [are] the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all that is written concerning me in the law of Moses and prophets and psalms must be fulfilled. |
| 45 | Then he opened their understanding to understand the scriptures, |
| 46 | and said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved the Christ to suffer, and to rise from among the dead the third day; |
| 47 | and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations beginning at Jerusalem. |
| 48 | And *ye* are witnesses of these things. |
| 49 | And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but do ye remain in the city till ye be clothed with power from on high. |
| 50 | And he led them out as far as Bethany, and having lifted up his hands, he blessed them. |
| 51 | And it came to pass as he was blessing them, he was separated from them and was carried up into heaven. |
| 52 | And *they*, having done him homage, returned to Jerusalem with great joy, |
| 53 | and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. |
