1But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain [others] with them.
2And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
3And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4And it came to pass, while they were perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel:
5and as they were affrighted and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
6He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
7saying that,
8And they remembered his words,
9and returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.
10Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the [mother] of James, and the other women with them, who told these things unto the apostles.
11And these words appeared in their sight as idle talk; and they disbelieved them.
12But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths lying by themselves; and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass.
13And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.
14And they communed with each other of all these things which had happened.
15And it came to pass, while they communed and questioned together, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
17And he said unto them,
18And one of them, named Cleopas, answering said unto him, Dost thou alone sojourn in Jerusalem and not know the things which are come to pass there in these days?
19And he said unto them,
20and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
21But we hoped that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yea and besides all this, today is the third day since these things came to pass.
22Moreover certain women of our company amazed us, having been early at the tomb;
23and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
24And certain of them that were with us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
25And he said unto them,
26
27And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further.
29And they constrained him, saying, Abide with us; for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to abide with them.
30And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the bread and blessed; and breaking [it] he gave to them.
31And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
32And they said one to another, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?
33And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
34saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35And they rehearsed the things [that happened] in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread.
36And as they spake these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them,
37But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit.
38And he said unto them,
39
40And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them,
42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb.
43And he took it, and ate before them.
44And he said unto them,
45Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures;
46and he said unto them,
47
48
49
50And he led them out until [they were] over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
51And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.
52And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
53and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
