| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. |
| 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] | 3but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' " |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Then they remembered his words. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16but they were kept from recognizing him. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17He asked them, "What are you discussing together as you walk along?" They stood still, their faces downcast. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, "Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?" |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19"What things?" he asked. "About Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23but didn't find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus." |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?" |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29But they urged him strongly, "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?" |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34and saying, "It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon." |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have." |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?" |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42They gave him a piece of broiled fish, |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43and he took it and ate it in their presence. |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms." |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46He told them, "This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all 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] | 49I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. |
| 51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. |
| 52[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 52Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. |
| 53[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 53And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God. |
