| 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] | 6He is not here, but He has been resurrected! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7saying, The Son of Man must 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 home, 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 the Nazarene, 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 unwise and slow you are to believe in your hearts all that the prophets have spoken! |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Didn't the Messiah have 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] | 32So they said to each other, "Weren't our hearts ablaze 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 certainly 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] | 36And as they were saying these things, He Himself stood among them. 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 unbelieving 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] | 44Then He 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 as far as 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 complex praising God. |
