'But2on the1first [day]3of the4week,5at early7dawn,6they went11to8the9tomb,10taking12the spices15they had prepared.14 And2they found1the3stone4rolled away5from6the7tomb,8 but2when they went in1they did4not3find4the5body6of the7Lord8Jesus.9 While34they6were perplexed5about7this,8behold,10two12men11stood by13them14in15dazzling17apparel.16 And2asthey4were3frightened1and5bowed6[their]7faces8to9the10ground,11the men said12to13them,14“Why15doyou seek16the17living18among19the20dead?21 He is2not1here,3but4has risen.5Remember6how7he told8you,9while he was11still10in12Galilee,14 that6the2Son3of Man5must7be delivered8into9the hands10of sinful12men11and13be crucified14and15on the16third17day18rise.”19 And1they remembered2his5words,4 and1returning2from3the4tomb5they told6all8these things7to the9eleven10and11to all12the13rest.14 Now2it was1Mary5Magdalene4and6Joanna7and8Mary9the [mother]10of James11and12the13other women14with15them16whotold17these things21to18the19apostles,20 but1these9words8seemed2to3them4an5idle tale,6and10they did not believe11them.12 But2Peter3rose4andran5to6the7tomb;8stooping and looking in,10he saw11the12linen cloths13by themselves;14and15he went [home]16marveling19at what had happened.2021 That8very7day9two3of4them5were10going11to12a village13named1920Emmaus,21about14[seven miles]1516from17Jerusalem,18 and1they2were talking3with4each other5about6all7these10things8that had happened.9 While34they6were talking5and7discussing together,8Jesus11himself10drew near12andwent with13them.14 But2their4eyes3were kept from57recognizing8him.9 And2he said1to3them,4“What5isthis8conversation7that9you are holding10with11each other12as you walk?13”And14they stood still,15looking sad.16 Then2one3of them,named4Cleopas,5answered1him,8“Areyou9theonly10visitor11to18Jerusalem12who doesnot14know15the things16that have happened17there1819in20these23days?”22 And1he said2to them,3“What things?”4And6they said7to him,8“Concerning10Jesus11of5Nazareth,13a man16who14was15a prophet17mighty18in19deed20and21word22before23God25and26all27the28people,29 and2how1our10chief priests6and7rulers9delivered3him4up3to be condemned1112to death,13and14crucified15him.16 But2we1had hoped3that4he5was6the one7to redeem9Israel.11Yes,13and14besides15all16this,17it is21now1920thethird18daysince2223these things24happened.25 Moreover,2some4women3of5our company6amazed7us.8They were9at11the12tomb13early in the morning,10 and1when they did3not2find3his6body,5they came back7saying8that they hadeven9seen12a vision10of angels,11who13said14thathe15was alive.16 Some3of those4who werewith5us6went2to7the8tomb9and10found11itjust12as13the15women16had said,17but19him18they did21not20see.”21 And1he2said3to4them,5“O6foolish ones,7and8slow9of heart11to believe13all15that16the18prophets19have spoken!17 Was it3not1necessary3thatthe5Christ6should suffer4these things2and7enter8into9his12glory?”11 And1beginning2with3Moses4and5all7the8Prophets,9he interpreted10to them11in12all13the14Scriptures15the things16concerning17himself.18 So1they drew near2to3the4village5to which6they were going.7He9acted as if10he were going12farther,11 but1they urged2him3strongly,2saying,4“Stay5with6us,7for8it is11toward9evening10and12the15day16isnow14far spent.”13So17he went in18to stay20with21them.22 When34he6was at table5with7them,8he took9the10bread11andblessed12and13broke14it andgave15itto them.16 And2their1eyes5were opened,3and6they recognized7him.8And9he10vanished1112from13their [sight].14 They said2to3each other,4“Did10not5our8hearts7burn9within11us12while13he talked14to us15on16the17road,18while19he opened20to us21the22Scriptures?”23 And1they rose2that same3hour5andreturned6to7Jerusalem.8And9they found10the12eleven13and14those15who werewith16them17gathered together,11 saying,1“The5Lord6has risen4indeed,3and7has appeared8to Simon!”9 Then1they2told3what4had happenedon5the6road,7and8how9he was known10to them11in12the13breaking14of the15bread.16 As2they3were talking4about these things,1Jesushimself5stood6among78them,9and10said11to them,12“Peace13to you!”14 But2they were startled1and3frightened45andthought6theysaw8a spirit.7 And1he said2to them,3“Why4are you6troubled,5and7why89dodoubts10arise11in12your15hearts?14 See1my4hands3and5my8feet,7that9it is11I10myself.12Touch13me,14and15see.16For17a spirit18doesnot22have23flesh19and20bones21as24you see26that27I25have.”27 And1when he had said3this,2he showed4them5[his]6hands7and8[his]9feet.10 And2while3they4still1disbelieved3for5joy7and8were marveling,9he said10to them,11“Have you12anything13here15to eat?”14 They1gave3him4a piece7of broiled6fish,5 and1he took2it andate5before3them.4 Then2he said1to3them,4“These5aremy8words7that9I spoke10to11you12while I was14still13with15you,16that17everything2021written22about32me33in23the24Law25of Moses26and27the28Prophets29and30the Psalms31must18be fulfilled.”19 Then1he opened2their3minds5to understand7the8Scriptures,9 and1said2to them,3“Thus5it is written,6that4the8Christ9should suffer7and10on the14third15day16rise11from12the dead,13 and1thatrepentance7and8forgiveness9of sins10should be proclaimed2in3his6name5to11all12nations,14beginning15from16Jerusalem.17 You1arewitnesses2of these things.3 And1behold,2I3am sending4the5promise6of8my9Father8upon10you.11But13stay14in15the16city17until18you are clothed20with power23from21on high.”22 Then2he led1them3out4as far as5Bethany,7and8lifting up9his12hands11he blessed13them.14 While34he6blessed5them,7he parted8from9them10and11was carried up12into13heaven.15 And1they2worshiped3him4andreturned5to6Jerusalem7with8great10joy,9 and1were2continually34in5the6temple7blessing8God.10
