Bishops(i) 14 And they talked together of all these thynges that were done 15 And it came to passe, that whyle they communed together & reasoned, Iesus him selfe drewe neare, and went with them 16 But their eyes were holden, that they shoulde not knowe him 17 And he sayde vnto them: What maner of communications are these that ye haue one to another as ye walke, and are sad 18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleophas, aunswered, and sayde to him: Art thou only a straunger in Hierusalem, & hast not knowen the thinges which are come to passe there, in these dayes 19 He sayde vnto them: what thynges? And they sayde vnto him: Of Iesus of Nazareth, whiche was a prophete, mightie in deede and worde before God and all the people 20 And howe the hye priestes, and our rulers deliuered him to be condempned to death, and haue crucified him 21 But we trusted that it had ben he which shoulde haue redeemed Israel: And as touchyng all these thynges, to day is euen the thirde day, that they were done 22 Yea, and certayne women also of our companie made vs astonied, which came early vnto the sepulchre 23 And founde not his body, and came, saying that they had seene a vision of angels, which sayde that he was alyue 24 And certayne of them which were with vs, went to the sepulchre, & founde it euen so as the women had sayde: but hym they sawe not 25 And he sayde vnto them: O fooles and slowe of heart, to beleue all that the prophetes haue spoken 26 Ought not Christe to haue suffered these thinges, & to enter into his glory 27 And he began at Moyses, and all the prophetes, and interpreted vnto them in all Scriptures which were writen of hym 28 And they drewe nye vnto the towne which they went vnto, and he made as though he would haue gone further 29 And they constrayned hym, saying: abyde with vs, for it draweth towarde nyght, and the day is farre passed. And he went in to tary with them 30 And it came to passe, as he sate at meate with them, he toke bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gaue to them 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knewe him: and he vanished out of their syght 32 And they sayde betweene them selues: Dyd not our heartes burne within vs, whyle he talked with vs by the way, and opened vnto vs the scriptures 33 And they rose vp the same houre, and returned [agayne] to Hierusalem, and founde the eleuen gathered together, and them that were with them 34 Saying: The Lorde is rysen in deede, and hath appeared to Simon 35 And they tolde what thynges were done in the way, and howe they knewe him in breakyng of bread 36 And as they thus spake, Iesus him selfe stoode in the middes of them, and saith vnto them: Peace be vnto you 37 But they were abasshed and afrayde, & supposed that they had seene a spirite 38 And he sayde vnto them: Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughtes arise in your heartes 39 Beholde my handes and my feete, that it is euen I my selfe: Handle me and see, for a spirite hath not fleshe and bones, as ye see me haue 40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his handes and his feete 41 And whyle they yet beleued not for ioy, and wondred, he sayde vnto them: Haue ye heare any meate 42 And they offered him a peece of a broyled fishe, and of an hony combe 43 And he toke it, and dyd eate before them 44 And he sayde vnto them: These are the wordes which I spake vnto you, whyle I was yet with you, that all must [needes] be fulfylled, which were written of me in the law of Moyses, and in the prophetes, and in the psalmes 45 Then opened he their wittes, that they myght vnderstande the scriptures 46 And sayde vnto them: Thus is it written, and thus it behoued Christe to suffer, and to rise agayne from death the thirde day 47 And that repentaunce and remission of sinnes shoulde be preached in his name among all nations, and must begyn at Hierusalem 48 And ye are witnesses of these thynges 49 And beholde I wyll sende the promise of my father vpon you: But tary ye in the citie of Hierusalem, vntyll ye be endued with power from an hye 50 And he led them out into Bethanie, and lift vp his handes, & blessed them 51 And it came to passe, as he blessed them, he departed from them, and was caryed vp into heauen 52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Hierusalem with great ioy 53 And were continually in the temple, praysyng and laudyng God.
