1But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.

1Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

2And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

2And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

3but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

3And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

4While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing;

4And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

5and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living One among the dead?

5And as they were afraid, 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 He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee,

6He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

7saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."

7Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

8And they remembered His words,

8And they remembered his words,

9and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

9And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

10Now they were Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James; also the other women with them were telling these things to the apostles.

10It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

11But these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they would not believe them.

11And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

12But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen wrappings only; and he went away to his home, marveling at what had happened.

12Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

13And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

13And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.

14And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place.

14And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

15While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them.

15And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

16But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him.

16But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

17And He said to them, "What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?" And they stood still, looking sad.

17And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

18One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, "Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?"

18And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

19And He said to them, "What things?" And they said to Him, "The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people,

19And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

20and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to the sentence of death, and crucified Him.

20And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

21"But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened.

21But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

22"But also some women among us amazed us. When they were at the tomb early in the morning,

22Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;

23and did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive.

23And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.

24"Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just exactly as the women also had said; but Him they did not see."

24And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

25And He said to them, "O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

25Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

26"Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?"

26Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

27Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

27And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

28And they approached the village where they were going, and He acted as though He were going farther.

28And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

29But they urged Him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is getting toward evening, and the day is now nearly over." So He went in to stay with them.

29But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

30When He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them.

30And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

31Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight.

31And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

32They said to one another, "Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?"

32And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

33And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven and those who were with them,

33And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

34saying, "The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon."

34Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

35They began to relate their experiences on the road and how He was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

35And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

36While they were telling these things, He Himself stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be to you."

36And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

37But they were startled and frightened and thought that they were seeing a spirit.

37But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

38And He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

38And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

39"See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have."

39Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

40And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

40And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

41While they still could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?"

41And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

42They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish;

42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

43and He took it and ate it before them.

43And he took it, and did eat before them.

44Now He said to them, "These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled."

44And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

45Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,

45Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

46and He said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day,

46And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

47and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

47And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

48"You are witnesses of these things.

48And ye are witnesses of these things.

49"And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

49And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

50And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

50And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

51While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven.

51And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

52And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

52And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

53and were continually in the temple praising God.

53And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
