Luke 24

1 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulcher, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
Compare verse
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher.
Compare verse
3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
Compare verse
4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
Compare verse
5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said to them, Why seek you the living among the dead?
Compare verse
6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke to you when he was yet in Galilee,
Compare verse
7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
Compare verse
8 And they remembered his words,
Compare verse
9 And returned from the sepulcher, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.
Compare verse
10 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things to the apostles.
Compare verse
11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
Compare verse
12 Then arose Peter, and ran to the sepulcher; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
Compare verse
13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about three score furlongs.
Compare verse
14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
Compare verse
15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
Compare verse
16 But their eyes were held that they should not know him.
Compare verse
17 And he said to them, What manner of communications are these that you have one to another, as you walk, and are sad?
Compare verse
18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said to him, Are you only a stranger in Jerusalem, and have not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
Compare verse
19 And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
Compare verse
20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
22 Yes, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulcher;
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulcher, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
Compare verse
25 Then he said to them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
Compare verse
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
Compare verse
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
Compare verse
28 And they drew near to the village, where they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and broke, and gave to them.
Compare verse
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
Compare verse
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?
Compare verse
33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
Compare verse
34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon.
Compare verse
35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
Compare verse
36 And as they thus spoke, Jesus himself stood in the middle of them, and said to them, Peace be to you.
Compare verse
37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
Compare verse
38 And he said to them, Why are you troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
Compare verse
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me have.
Compare verse
40 And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet.
Compare verse
41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said to them, Have you here any meat?
Compare verse
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
Compare verse
43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
Compare verse
44 And he said to them, These are the words which I spoke to 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.
Compare verse
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
Compare verse
46 And said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
Compare verse
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Compare verse
48 And you are witnesses of these things.
Compare verse
49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father on you: but tarry you in the city of Jerusalem, until you be endued with power from on high.
Compare verse
50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
Compare verse
51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
Compare verse
52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
Compare verse
53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
