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.
|
4. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
|
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?
|
7. Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
|
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.
|
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.
|
13. And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
|
15. And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
|
17. And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
|
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?
|
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:
|
20. And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
|
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.
|
22. Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
|
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.
|
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.
|
25. Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
|
27. And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
|
28. And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
|
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.
|
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.
|
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?
|
33. And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
|
35. And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
|
36. And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
|
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.
|
41. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
|
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.
|
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:
|
47. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
|
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.
|
51. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
