The Good News According to Luke, Chapter 24
{24:1} But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they and
some others came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had
prepared. {24:2} They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
{24:3} They entered in, and didn't find the Lord Yeshua's body. {24:4}
It happened, while they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two
men stood by them in dazzling clothing. {24:5} Becoming terrified,
they bowed their faces down to the earth.
They said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?
{24:6} He isn't here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he
was still in Galilee, {24:7} saying that the Son of Man must be
delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the
third day rise again?"
{24:8} They remembered his words, {24:9} returned from the tomb, and
told all these things to the Eleven, and to all the rest. {24:10} Now
they were Miriam Magdalene, Yochanah, and Miriam the mother of Jacob.
The other women with them told these things to the emissaries. {24:11}
These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn't believe
them. {24:12} But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and
looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he
departed to his home, wondering what had happened.
{24:13} Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village
named Emmaus, which was [1>]sixty stadia[<1] from Jerusalem. {24:14}
They talked with each other about all of these things which had
happened. {24:15} It happened, while they talked and questioned
together, that Yeshua himself came near, and went with them. {24:16}
But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. {24:17} He said to
them, "What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?"
{24:18} One of them, named Klofah, answered him, "Are you the only
stranger in Jerusalem who doesn't know the things which have happened
there in these days?"
{24:19} He said to them, "What things?"
They said to him, "The things concerning Yeshua, the Nazarene, who
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 up to
be condemned to death, and crucified him. {24:21} But we were hoping
that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it
is now the third day since these things happened. {24:22} Also,
certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the
tomb; {24:23} and when they didn't find his body, they came saying
that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was
alive. {24:24} Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just like the
women had said, but they didn't see him."
{24:25} He said to them, "Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe
in all that the prophets have spoken! {24:26} Didn't the Messiah have
to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?" {24:27} Beginning
from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the
Scriptures the things concerning himself. {24:28} They drew near to
the village, where they were going, and he acted like he would go
further.
{24:29} They urged him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is almost
evening, and the day is almost over."
He went in to stay with them. {24:30} It happened, that when he had
sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks.
Breaking it, he gave to them. {24:31} Their eyes were opened, and they
recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight. {24:32} They said
one to another, "Weren't our hearts burning within us, while he spoke
to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?"
{24:33} They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found
the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them, {24:34}
saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!" {24:35}
They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was
recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
{24:36} As they said these things, Yeshua himself stood among them,
and said to them, "Peace be to you."
{24:37} But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed
that they had seen a spirit.
{24:38} He said to them, "Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise
in your hearts? {24:39} See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me.
Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn't have flesh and bones, as you
see that I have." {24:40} When he had said this, he showed them his
hands and his feet. {24:41} While they still didn't believe for joy,
and wondered, he said to them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"
{24:42} They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
{24:43} He took them, and ate in front of them. {24:44} He said to
them, "This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all
things which are written in the Torah of Moses, the Prophets, and the
Psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled."
{24:45} Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the
Scriptures. {24:46} He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it
was necessary for the Messiah 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 to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
{24:48} You are witnesses of these things. {24:49} Behold, I send
forth the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of
Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high."
{24:50} He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his
hands, and blessed them. {24:51} It happened, while he blessed them,
that he withdrew from them, and was carried up into heaven. {24:52}
They worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, {24:53}
and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
