| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3They went in but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men stood by them in dazzling clothes. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5So the women were terrified and bowed down to the ground. “Why are you looking for the living among the dead? ” asked the men. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6“He is not here, but he has risen! Remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee, |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7saying, ‘It is necessary that the Son of Man be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, be crucified, and rise on the third day’? ” |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8And they remembered his words. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the rest. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them were telling the apostles these things. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11But these words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. When he stooped to look in, he saw only the linen cloths. So he went away, amazed at what had happened. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Now that same day two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Together they were discussing everything that had taken place. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15And while they were discussing and arguing, Jesus himself came near and began to walk along with them. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16But they were prevented from recognizing him. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Then he asked them, “What is this dispute that you’re having with each other as you are walking? ” And they stopped walking and looked discouraged. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18The one named Cleopas answered him, “Are you the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that happened there in these days? ” |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19“What things? ” he asked them. So they said to him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet powerful in action and speech before God and all the people, |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21But we were hoping that he was the one who was about to redeem Israel. Besides all this, it’s the third day since these things happened. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Moreover, some women from our group astounded us. They arrived early at the tomb, |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23and when they didn’t find his body, they came and reported that they had seen a vision of angels who said he was alive. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn’t see him.” |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25He said to them, “How foolish and slow you are to believe all that the prophets have spoken! |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Wasn’t it necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things and enter into his glory? ” |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27Then beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted for them the things concerning himself in all the Scriptures. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28They came near the village where they were going, and he gave the impression that he was going farther. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29But they urged him, “Stay with us, because it’s almost evening, and now the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30It was as he reclined at the table with them that he took the bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, but he disappeared from their sight. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32They said to each other, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us while he was talking with us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us? ” |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33That very hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem. They found the Eleven and those with them gathered together, |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34who said, “The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon! ” |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35Then they began to describe what had happened on the road and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36As they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst. He said to them, “Peace to you! ” |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37But they were startled and terrified and thought they were seeing a ghost. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38“Why are you troubled? ” he asked them. “And why do doubts arise in your hearts? |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself! Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.” |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40Having said this, he showed them his hands and feet. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41But while they still were amazed and in disbelief because of their joy, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat? ” |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42So they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43and he took it and ate in their presence. |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44He told them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you --that everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46He also said to them, “This is what is written: The Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead the third day, |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47and repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem. |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48You are witnesses of these things. |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49And look, I am sending you what my Father promised. As for you, stay in the city until you are empowered from on high.” |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50Then he led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. |
| 51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51And while he was blessing them, he left them and was carried up into heaven. |
| 52[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 52After worshiping him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy. |
| 53[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 53And they were continually in the temple praising God. |
