LU-24:1  Now 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.

LU-24:2  And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

LU-24:3  And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord 
Jesus.

LU-24:4  And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed 
thereabout, behold,

two men stood by them in shining garments:

LU-24:5  And as they were afraid, and bowed down [their] faces 
to the earth,

they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

LU-24:6  He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake 
unto you when he

was yet in Galilee,

LU-24:7  Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands 
of sinful men,

and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

LU-24:8  And they remembered his words,

LU-24:9  And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these 
things unto the

eleven, and to all the rest.

LU-24:10  It 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.

LU-24:11  And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they 
believed them

not.

LU-24:12  Then 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.

LU-24:13  And, behold, two of them went that same day to a 
village called

Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem [about] threescore furlongs.

LU-24:14  And they talked together of all these things which had 
happened.

LU-24:15  And it came to pass, that, while they communed 
[together] and

reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

LU-24:16  But their eyes were holden that they should not know 
him.

LU-24:17  And he said unto them, What manner of communications 
[are] these that

ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

LU-24:18  And 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?

LU-24:19  And 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:

LU-24:20  And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him 
to be

condemned to death, and have crucified him.

LU-24:21  But 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.

LU-24:22  Yea, and certain women also of our company made us 
astonished, which

were early at the sepulchre;

LU-24:23  And when they found not his body, they came, saying, 
that they had

also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.

LU-24:24  And 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.

LU-24:25  Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to 
believe all

that the prophets have spoken:

LU-24:26  Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to 
enter into his

glory?

LU-24:27  And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he 
expounded unto them

in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

LU-24:28  And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went:
 and he made

as though he would have gone further.

LU-24:29  But 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.

LU-24:30  And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he 
took bread, and

blessed [it], and brake, and gave to them.

LU-24:31  And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he 
vanished out of

their sight.

LU-24:32  And 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?

LU-24:33  And they rose up the same hour, and returned to 
Jerusalem, and found

the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

LU-24:34  Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to 
Simon.

LU-24:35  And they told what things [were done] in the way, and 
how he was

known of them in breaking of bread.

LU-24:36  And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the 
midst of them, and

saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.

LU-24:37  But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed 
that they had

seen a spirit.

LU-24:38  And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do 
thoughts arise

in your hearts?

LU-24:39  Behold 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.

LU-24:40  And when he had thus spoken, he showed them [his] 
hands and [his]

feet.

LU-24:41  And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, 
he said unto

them, Have ye here any meat?

LU-24:42  And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an 
honeycomb.

LU-24:43  And he took [it], and did eat before them.

LU-24:44  And 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.



LU-24:45  Then opened he their understanding, that they might 
understand the

scriptures,

LU-24:46  And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it 
behoved Christ to

suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

LU-24:47  And that repentance and remission of sins should be 
preached in his

name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

LU-24:48  And ye are witnesses of these things.

LU-24:49  And, 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.

LU-24:50  And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he 
lifted up his hands,

and blessed them.

LU-24:51  And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was 
parted from them,

and carried up into heaven.

LU-24:52  And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem 
with great joy:

LU-24:53  And were continually in the temple, praising and 
blessing God. Amen.
