| 1 but, on the first day of the week, at early dawn, unto the tomb, came they, bringing the spices which they had prepared. |
|
| 2 And they found the stone, rolled away from the tomb; |
|
| 3 but, when they entered, they found not the body [of the Lord Jesus]. |
|
| 4 And it came to pass, while they were perplexing themselves concerning this, that lo! two men, stood near them, in dazzling raiment. |
|
| 5 And, they becoming afraid, and bending their faces unto the ground, they said unto them–Why seek ye the Living One with the dead? |
|
| 6 [He is not here, but hath arisen:] Remember how he spake unto you while yet he was in Galilee: |
|
| 7 Saying, as to the Son of Man, that he must needs be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified,–and, on the third day, arise. |
|
| 8 And they remembered his sayings; |
|
| 9 and, returning [from the tomb], reported all these things unto the eleven, and unto all the rest. |
|
| 10 Now they were the Magdalene Mary, and Joana, and Mary the mother of James; and, the other women with them, were telling, unto the apostles, these things. |
|
| 11 And these sayings appeared before them, as if idle talk, and they were minded to disbelieve them. |
|
| 12 [But, Peter, arising, ran unto the tomb,–and, bending near, beholdeth the linen bandages, alone; and departed, unto himself, marveling at the thing that had happened.] |

|
| 13 And lo! two from among them, on the selfsame day, were journeying unto a village, distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, the name of which, was Emmaus; |
Threescore furlongs – About 7½ miles. |
| 14 and, they, were conversing one with another, about all these things which had occurred. |
|
| 15 And it came to pass, as they were conversing and reasoning together, that, Jesus himself, drawing near, was journeying with them; |
|
| 16 but, their eyes, were held, so as not to know him. |
|
| 17 And he said unto them–What are these things which ye are debating one with another, as ye walk along? And they came to a stand, sad in countenance. |
|
| 18 But one, by name Cleopas, answering, said unto him–Art, thou, lodging, alone, in Jerusalem, and knowest not the things which have come to pass therein in these days? |
|
| 19 And he said unto them–What things? And, they, said unto him–The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who became a prophet, mighty in work and word, before God and all the people: |
|
| 20 In what way also our High-priests and Rulers delivered him up unto a sentence of death, and crucified him. |
|
| 21 We, however, were hoping that, he, was the one destined to redeem Israel! But indeed, even with all these things, this brings on, the third, day, since these things happened:– |
|
| 22 Nay! certain women also, from amongst us, have made us beside ourselves, in that they went early unto the tomb; |
|
| 23 and, not finding his body, came, saying–that, a vision of messengers, they had seen, who were affirming him to be alive. |
|
| 24 And certain of them who were with us departed unto the tomb,–and found so, according as, the women, had said; but, him, they saw not. |
|
| 25 And, he, said unto them–O thoughtless ones! and slow in heart to rest your faith upon all things which the prophets have spoken:– |
|
| 26 Was it not needful for the Christ, these very things, to suffer, and to enter into his glory? |
|
| 27 And, beginning from Moses, and from all the prophets, he thoroughly explained to them, in all the Scriptures, the things concerning himself. |
|
| 28 And they drew near unto the village, whither they were journeying; and, he, made for journeying, further. |
|
| 29 And they constrained him, saying–Abide with us; because it is, towards evening, and the day hath already declined. And he went in to abide with them. |
|
| 30 And it came to pass, when he reclined with them, taking the loaf, he blessed, and, breaking it, went on to give unto them. |
|
| 31 And, their, eyes were opened, and they knew him; and, he, vanished from them. |
|
| 32 And they said one to another–Was not, our heart, burning, as he was speaking to us in the way, as he was opening to us the Scriptures? |
|
| 33 And, arising in that very hour, they returned unto Jerusalem,–and found, gathered together, the eleven, and them who were with them, |
|
| 34 saying–In truth, the Lord hath arisen, and hath appeared unto Simon! |
|
| 35 And, they, went on to relate the things, [that had passed] on the journey, and how he was made known unto them in the breaking of the loaf. |
|
| |
|
| 36 Now, as, these very things, they were telling, he himself, stood in their midst [and saith unto them–Peace to you!] |
|
| 37 But, being agitated and becoming, afraid, they began to imagine, that, upon a spirit, they were looking. |
|
| 38 And he said unto them–Why are ye troubled? and for what cause do reasonings arise in your hearts? |
|
| 39 See my hands, and my feet,–that it is, I, myself: Handle me, and see! because, a spirit, hath not, flesh and bones, as ye perceive, I, have. |
|
| 40 [And, this saying, he pointed out to them his hands and his feet.] |
|
| 41 Now, while yet they believed not for the joy, and were marveling, he said unto them–Have ye anything to eat, here? |
|
| 42 And they gave unto him a piece of boiled fish; |
|
| 43 and, taking it before them, he did eat. |
|
| 44 And he said unto them–These, are my words, which I spake unto you yet being with you: That all the things that are written in the law of Moses and the Prophets and Psalms, concerning me, must needs be fulfilled. |
|
| 45 Then, opened he their mind, to understand the Scriptures; |
|
| 46 and said unto them–Thus, it is written, That the Christ, should suffer, and arise from among the dead on the third day; |
|
| 47 And that repentance for remission of sins should be proclaimed upon his name unto all the nations,–beginning from Jerusalem. |
|
| 48 Ye, are witnesses of these things. |
|
| 49 And lo! I, am sending forth the promise of my Father upon you; but tarry, ye, in the city, until ye be clothed, from on high, with power. |

|
| 50 And he led them forth as far as unto Bethany; and, uplifting his hands, he blessed them. |
|
| 51 And it came to pass, while he was blessing them, he parted from them [and was born up into heaven.] |
|
| 52 And, they, [having bowed down unto him] returned unto Jerusalem, with great joy; |
|
| 53 and were continually in the temple, blessing God. |
