Luke

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. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepul­chre. 3 And they en­tered in, and found not the body of the Lord Je­sus. 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? 6 He is not here, but is risen: re­mem­ber how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 7 Say­ing, The Son of man must be de­liv­ered into the hands of sin­ful men, and be cru­ci­fied, and the third day rise again. 8 And they re­mem­bered his words, 9 And re­turned from the sepul­chre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. 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. 11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they be­lieved them not. 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. 14 And they talked to­geth­er of all these things which had hap­pened. 15 And it came to pass, that, while they com­muned together and rea­soned, Je­sus him­self drew near, and went with them. 16 But their eyes were hold­en that they should not know him. 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: 26 Ought not Christ to have suf­fered these things, and to en­ter into his glo­ry? 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. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he van­ished out of their sight. 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, 34 Say­ing, The Lord is risen in­deed, and hath ap­peared to Si­mon. 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. 37 But they were ter­ri­fied and af­fright­ed, and sup­posed that they had seen a spir­it. 38 And he said unto them, Why are ye trou­bled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 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. 40 And when he had thus spo­ken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. 41 And while they yet be­lieved not for joy, and won­dered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? 42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an hon­ey­comb. 43 And he took it, and did eat be­fore them. 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. 45 Then opened he their un­der­stand­ing, that they might un­der­stand the scrip­tures, 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. 48 And ye are wit­ness­es of these things. 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. 50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lift­ed up his hands, and blessed them. 51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was part­ed from them, and car­ried up into heav­en. 52 And they wor­shipped him, and re­turned to Jerusalem with great joy: 53 And were con­tin­u­al­ly in the tem­ple, prais­ing and bless­ing God. Amen.
