Luke 24:1-29 ▼

1 And on the first [day] of the weeks, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, carrying the spices they made ready, and certain [others] with them,

2 and they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb,

3 and having gone in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 And it came to pass, while they are perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in clothing—flashing [with light];

5 and on their having become afraid, and having inclined the face to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living with the dead?

6 He is not here, but was raised; remember how He spoke to you, being yet in Galilee,

7 saying, It is necessary for the Son of Man to be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and to rise again [on] the third day.”

8 And they remembered His sayings,

9 and having turned back from the tomb, told all these things to the Eleven, and to all the rest.

10 And it was Mary the Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles,

11 and their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they were not believing them.

12 And Peter having risen, ran to the tomb, and having stooped down he sees the linen clothes lying alone, and he went away to his own home, wondering at that having come to pass.

13 And behold, two of them were going on during that day to a village, being sixty stadia distant from Jerusalem, the name of which [is] Emmaus,

14 and they were conversing with one another about all these things that have happened.

15 And it came to pass in their conversing and reasoning together, that Jesus Himself, having come near, was going on with them,

16 and their eyes were restrained so as not to know Him,

17 and He said to them, “What [are] these words that you exchange with one another, walking, and you are sad?”

18 And one, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said to Him, “Are You alone visiting Jerusalem and have not known the things having come to pass in it in these days?”

19 And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man—a prophet—powerful in deed and word, before God and all the people,

20 how also the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him up to a judgment of death, and crucified Him;

21 and we were hoping that it is He who is about to redeem Israel, and also with all these things, this third day is passing today since these things happened.

22 And certain of our women also astonished us, coming early to the tomb,

23 and having not found His body, they came, saying to have also seen an apparition of messengers who say He is alive,

24 and certain of those with us went away to the tomb, and found [it] so, even as the women said, and they did not see Him.”

25 And He said to them, “O inconsiderate and slow in heart to believe on all that the prophets spoke!

26 Was it not necessary [for] the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into His glory?”

27 And having begun from Moses, and from all the Prophets, He was expounding to them in all the Writings the things about Himself.

28 And they came near to the village to where they were going, and He made an appearance of going on further,

29 and they constrained Him, saying, “Remain with us, for it is toward evening,” and the day declined, and He went in to remain with them.
