1 ALuke 24:1-10: Matt 28:1-8; Mark 16:1-8;John 20:1-8But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of ALuke 7:13; Acts 1:21the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, AJohn 20:12two men suddenly BLuke 2:9; Acts 12:7stood near them in dazzling clothing; 5 and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living One among the dead? 6  “He is not here, but He AMark 16:6has 1Or been raisedrisen. Remember how He spoke to you BMatt 17:22f; Mark 9:30f; Luke 9:44; 24:44while He was still in Galilee, 7 saying that AMatt 16:21; Luke 24:46the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” 8 And AJohn 2:22they remembered His words, 9 and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now they were AMatt 27:56Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James; also the other women with them were telling these things to BMark 6:30the apostles. 11 But these words appeared 1Lit in their sightto them as nonsense, and they AMark 16:11would not believe them. 12 But Peter got up and AJohn 20:3-6ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he *saw the linen wrappings 1Or by themselvesonly; and he went away BJohn 20:10to his home, marveling at what had happened.

13 And behold, AMark 16:12two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was 1Lit 60 stadia; one stadion was about 600 ftabout seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place. 15 While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them. 16 But ALuke 24:31; John 20:14; 21:4their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. 17 And He said to them, “What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, “Are You 1Or visiting Jerusalem alonethe only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?” 19 And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things about AMark 1:24Jesus the Nazarene, who was a BMatt 21:11prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people, 20 and how the chief priests and our ALuke 23:13rulers delivered Him to the sentence of death, and crucified Him. 21  “But we were hoping that it was He who was going to ALuke 1:68redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened. 22  “But also some women among us amazed us. ALuke 24:1ffWhen they were at the tomb early in the morning, 23 and did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive. 24  “Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just exactly as the women also had said; but Him they did not see.” 25 And He said to them, “O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that AMatt 26:24the prophets have spoken! 26  “ALuke 24:7, 44ff; Heb 2:10; 1 Pet 1:11Was it not necessary for the 1I.e. MessiahChrist to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?” 27 Then beginning 1Lit fromwith AGen 3:15; 12:3; Num 21:9 [John 3:14]; Deut 18:15 [John 1:45]; John 5:46Moses and 1Lit fromwith all the B2 Sam 7:12-16; Is 7:14 [Matt 1:23]; Is 9:1f [Matt 4:15f]; Is 42:1 [Matt 12:18ff]; Is 53:4 [Matt 8:17; Luke 22:37]; Dan 7:13 [Matt 24:30]; Mic 5:2 [Matt 2:6]; Zech 9:9 [Matt 21:5]; Acts 13:27prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

28 And they approached the village where they were going, and AMark 6:48He acted as though He were going farther. 29 But they urged Him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is getting toward evening, and the day 1Lit has now declinedis now nearly over.” So He went in to stay with them. 30 When He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and AMatt 14:19blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them. 31 Then their ALuke 24:16eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from 1Lit themtheir sight. 32 They said to one another, “1Lit Was not our heartWere not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He ALuke 24:45was 2Lit openingexplaining the Scriptures to us?” 33 And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and AMark 16:13found gathered together the eleven and BActs 1:14those who were with them, 34 saying, “ALuke 24:6The Lord has really risen and B1 Cor 15:5has appeared to Simon.” 35 They began to relate 1Lit the thingstheir experiences on the road and how ALuke 24:30fHe was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

36 While they were telling these things, AMark 16:14He Himself stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace be to you.” 37 But they were startled and frightened and thought that they were seeing AMatt 14:26; Mark 6:49a spirit. 38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your 1Lit hearthearts? 39  “AJohn 20:20, 27See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; BJohn 20:27; 1 John 1:1touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” 40 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. 41 While they still 1Lit were disbelievingALuke 24:11could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He said to them, “BJohn 21:5Have you anything here to eat?” 42 They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish; 43 and He took it and AActs 10:41ate it before them.

44 Now He said to them, “ALuke 9:22, 44f; 18:31-34; 22:37These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the BLuke 24:27Law of Moses and the Prophets and CPs 2:7ff [Acts 13:33]; Ps 16:10 [Acts 2:27]; Ps 22:1-18 [Matt 27:34-46]; Ps 69:1-21 [John 19:28ff]; Ps 72; 110:1 [Matt 22:43f]; Ps 118:22f [Matt 21:42]the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then He ALuke 24:32; Acts 16:14; 1 John 5:20opened their 1Lit mindminds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and He said to them, “ALuke 24:26, 44Thus it is written, that the 1I.e. MessiahChrist would suffer and BLuke 24:7rise again from the dead the third day, 47 and that AActs 5:31; 10:43; 13:38; 26:18repentance 1Later mss read and forgivenessfor forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed 2Or on the basis ofin His name to BMatt 28:19all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48  “You are AActs 1:8, 22; 2:32; 3:15; 4:33; 5:32; 10:39, 41; 13:31; 1 Pet 5:1witnesses of these things. 49  “And behold, AJohn 14:26I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but BActs 1:4you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”

50 And He led them out as far as AMatt 21:17; Acts 1:12Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. 51 While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven. 52 And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually in the temple 1Lit blessingpraising God.
