24:1
|
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.
|
|
24:2
|
And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
|
|
24:3
|
And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
|
|
24:4
|
And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
|
|
24:5
|
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?
|
24:6
 |
He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
|
|
24:7
|
Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
|
|
24:8
|
And they remembered his words,
|
|
24:9
|
And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
|
|
24:10
|
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.
|
|
24:11
|
And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
|
|
24:12
|
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.
|
|
24:13
|
¶ And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
|
|
24:14
|
And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
|
|
24:15
|
And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
|
|
24:16
|
But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
|
|
24:17
|
And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
|
|
24:18
|
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?
|
|
24:19
|
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:
|
|
24:20
|
And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
|
|
24:21
|
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.
|
|
24:22
|
Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
|
|
24:23
|
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.
|
|
24:24
|
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.
|
|
24:25
|
Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
|
|
24:26
|
Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
|
|
24:27
|
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
|
|
24:28
|
65
|
|
24:29
|
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.
|
|
24:30
|
And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
|
|
24:31
|
And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
|
|
24:32
|
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?
|
|
24:33
|
And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
|
|
24:34
|
Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
|
|
24:35
|
And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
|
|
24:36
|
¶ And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
|
|
24:37
|
But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
|
|
24:38
|
And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
|
|
24:39
|
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.
|
|
24:40
|
And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
|
|
24:41
|
And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
|
|
24:42
|
And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
|
|
24:43
|
And he took it, and did eat before them.
|
|
24:44
|
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.
|
|
24:45
|
Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
|
|
24:46
|
And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
|
|
24:47
|
And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
|
|
24:48
|
And ye are witnesses of these things.
|
|
24:49
|
¶ 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.
|
|
24:50
|
¶ And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
|
|
24:51
|
And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
|
|
24:52
|
And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
|
|
24:53
|
And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
