| 1 | But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. |
| 2 | And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. |
| 3 | And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. |
| 4 | And it came to pass, while they were perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel: |
| 5 | and as they were affrighted and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? |
| 6 | He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, |
| 7 | saying that the Son of man must be delivered up 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 told 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: and the other women with them told these things unto the apostles. |
| 11 | And these words appeared in their sight as idle talk; and they disbelieved them. |
| 12 | But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths by themselves; and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass. |
| 13 | And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was threescore furlongs from Jerusalem. |
| 14 | And they communed with each other of all these things which had happened. |
| 15 | And it came to pass, while they communed and questioned together, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. |
| 16 | But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. |
| 17 | And he said unto them, What communications are these that ye have one with another, as ye walk? And they stood still, looking sad. |
| 18 | And one of them, named Cleopas, answering said unto him, Dost thou alone sojourn in Jerusalem and not know the things which are come to pass there in these days? |
| 19 | And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, 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 be condemned to death, and crucified him. |
| 21 | But we hoped that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yea and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass. |
| 22 | Moreover certain women of our company amazed us, having been early at the tomb; |
| 23 | and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. |
| 24 | And certain of them that were with us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. |
| 25 | And he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! |
| 26 | Behooved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? |
| 27 | And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. |
| 28 | And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further. |
| 29 | And they constrained him, saying, Abide with us; for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide with them. |
| 30 | And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the bread and blessed; and breaking [it] he gave to them. |
| 31 | And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. |
| 32 | And they said one to another, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures? |
| 33 | And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, |
| 34 | saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. |
| 35 | And they rehearsed the things [that happened] in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread. |
| 36 | And as they spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you. |
| 37 | But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit. |
| 38 | And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do questionings arise in your heart? |
| 39 | See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having. |
| 40 | And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. |
| 41 | And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat? |
| 42 | And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish. |
| 43 | And he took it, and ate before them. |
| 44 | And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me. |
| 45 | Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures; |
| 46 | and he said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day; |
| 47 | and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. |
| 48 | Ye are witnesses of these things. |
| 49 | And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high. |
| 50 | And he led them out until [they were] over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. |
| 51 | And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven. |
| 52 | And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: |
| 53 | and were continually in the temple, blessing God. |
