Luke 24
Book: Luke
JESUS IS RAISED
1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
4 And it came to pass, while they were perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel:
5 and as they were affrighted and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
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.”
10 Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James: and the other women with them told these things unto the apostles.
12 But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths by themselves; and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass.
JESUS ENCOUNTERED ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS
13 And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was threescore furlongs from Jerusalem.
15 And it came to pass, while they communed and questioned together, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
17 And he said unto them, “What communications are these that ye have one with another, as ye walk?” And they stood still, looking sad.
18 And 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?
19 And he said unto them, “What things?” And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
21 But we hoped that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yea and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass.
23 and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
24 And 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.
25 And he said unto them, “O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!”
27 And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further.
29 And they constrained him, saying, Abide with us; for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide with them.
30 And 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.
32 And 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?
33 And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
35 And they rehearsed the things that happened in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread.
JESUS APPEARS TO HIS DISCIPLES
36 And as they spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, “Peace be unto you.”
39 “See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having.”
41 And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, “Have ye here anything to eat?”
JESUS COMMISSIONS HIS DISCIPLES
44 And he said unto them, “These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me.”
46 and he said unto them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day;”
47 “and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.”
49 “And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.”
