1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.
2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 While they were at a loss about this, suddenly two men in glittering robes stood beside them.
5 They were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why are you looking for the living among the dead?
6 He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:
7 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.'"
8 Then they remembered his words,
9 When they returned from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.
10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.
11 But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.
12 But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen wrappings lying by themselves; and he went away, marveling to himself at what had happened.
13 That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.
15 And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.
16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
17 He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.
18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days?"
19 "What things?" He asked. "The things about Jesus the Nazarene," they said, "who was a Prophet powerful in work and word before God and all the people;
20 and how the chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified him.
21 But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since all this happened.
22 Furthermore, some of our women amazed us. They were at the tomb early this morning,
23 and not found his body, they came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said that he is alive.
24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”
25 He said to them, “Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
26 Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and enter his glory?"
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them the things in all the scriptures, concerning himself.
28 Then they approached the village to which they were going, and He acted as though He were going on farther,
29 But they pleaded with Him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So He went in to stay with them.
30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.
31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him; but he disappeared from their sight.
32 They asked one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us as He spoke with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
33 And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven and those with them, gathered together
34 and saying, "Really the Lord has risen and he has appeared to Simon."
35 And they told what had happened on the road, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of bread.
36 While they were all talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."
37 But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said to them, Why are you troubled? and why do doubts arise in your minds?
39 Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41 And while they still did not believe because of joy, and marvelled, he said to them, Have you anything here to eat?
42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish,
43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.
44 Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.”
45 Then he opened their minds, so they could understand the Scriptures.
46 And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
49 And I will send to you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.
50 When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up to heaven.
52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53 and they were continually in the temple, praising God.
