Luke 24:1-53

Whiston(i) 1 But upon the first [day] of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing what they had prepared, and certain with them. 2 But they reasoned among themselves who now shall roll away the stone?But They found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. 3 And they entred in, and found not the body. 4 And it came to pass, as they were perplexed about it; behold two men stood by them in a shining garment. 5 And [they were] afraid, and bowed down [their] faces to the earth; But they said unto them, Why seek ye him that is alive among the dead? 6 Remember how many things he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 7 That the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 8 And they remembred his words, 9 And returned, and told all these things unto the eleven, and all the rest. 10 Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary [the mother] of James, and other [women] with them, told these things unto the apostles, 11 And these words seemed to them as an idle tale, and they believed them not. 12 -- 13 But there were two of them who went that same day to a village whose name was Oulammaus, which was from Jerusalem threescore furlongs. 14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15 And it came to pass, that while they communed, and enquired, Jesus 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 among your selves, walking sad? 18 And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, not knowing the things which are come to pass in it in these days? 19 But he said unto him; What things? The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word, before God and all the people: 20 How the chief priests and our rulers delivered this man unto the judgement of death, and have crucified him. 21 But we trusted that it was He who was to redeem Israel: and with all these things to day is the third day since these things were done. 22 Yea, and certain women also made us astonished, who were early at the sepulchre: 23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24 And certain of them who were with us, went to the sepulchre, and found as the women said, But him we have not seen. 25 But he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart as to all that the prophets have spoken! 26 That Christ ought to have suffered these things, and to have entred into his glory? 27 And he began from Moses, and all the prophets, to expound unto them in 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 towards evening, and the day far spent; and he went in to tarry with them. 30 And it came to pass as he sat at meat he took bread, and blessed, and gave to them. 31 And when they had receiced the bread from him, their eyes were opened, and they knew him, and he vanished out of their sight. 32 But they said among themselves, was not our heart hidden within us, as he talk'd with us by the way, as he opened to us the scriptures? 33 And they rose up the same hour sorrowful, and returned to Jerusalem; and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them. 34 Who said, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared unto Simon. 35 And they told what things [were done] in the way, and that he was known of them in breaking of bread. 36 And as they thus spake, he himself stood in the midst of the disciples. 37 But they were terrifyed and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. 38 But 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 my self: handle me and see, for a spirit hath not bones and flesh as ye see me have. 40 -- 41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said, Have ye here any meat? 42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish. 43 And he took [it,] and did eat before them. 44 And he said unto them, These [were] my 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 the Prophets, and the Psalms concerning me. 45 Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures. 46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, that Christ should suffer, and rise the third day. 47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, as far as all nations;beginning at Jerusalem. 48 And ye are also witnesses of these things. 49 And behold I send the promise upon you; but tarry ye in the city until ye be endued with power from on high. 50 And he led them out to Bethany, and he lift up his hands, and blessed them. 51 And it came to pass while he blessed them, he was parted from them. 52 And they returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And were continually in the temple praising God.
