024:001

And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre

024:002

And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus

024:003

And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments

024:004

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

024:005

He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee

024:006

Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again

024:007

And they remembered his words

024:008

And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest

024:009

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

024:010

And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not

024:011

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

024:012

And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs

024:013

And they talked together of all these things which had happened

024:014

And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them

024:015

But their eyes were holden that they should not know him

024:016

And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad

024:017

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

024:018

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

024:019

And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him

024:020

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

024:021

Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre

024:022

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

024:023

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

024:024

Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken

024:025

Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory

024:026

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself

024:027

And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further

024:028

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

024:029

And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them

024:030

And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight

024:031

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

024:032

And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them

024:033

Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon

024:034

And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread

024:035

And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you

024:036

But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit

024:037

And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts

024:038

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

024:039

And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet

024:040

And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat

024:041

And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb

024:042

And he took it, and did eat before them

024:043

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

024:044

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures

024:045

And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day

024:046

And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem

024:047

And ye are witnesses of these things

024:048

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

024:049

And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them

024:050

And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven

024:051

And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy

024:052

And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
