Luke 24:1-18 ▼

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

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

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

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

5 and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why are you seeking the living One among the dead?

6 He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee,

7 saying that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise from the dead.”

8 And they remembered His words,

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

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

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

12 Nevertheless, Peter got up and ran to the tomb; and when he stooped and looked in, he saw the linen wrappings only; and he went away to his home, marveling at what had happened.

13 And behold, on that very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.

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

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

16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17 And He said to them, “What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?” And they came to a stop, looking sad.

18 One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, “Are You possibly the only one living near Jerusalem who does not know about the things that happened here in these days?”
