24Luke 24

1And on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared.Select Luke 24:1

2And they found the stone rolled back from the sepulchre.Select Luke 24:2

3And going in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.Select Luke 24:3

4And it came to pass, as they were astonished in their mind at this, behold, two men stood by them, in shining apparel.Select Luke 24:4

5And as they were afraid and bowed down their countenance towards the ground, they said unto them: Why seek you the living with the dead?Select Luke 24:5

6He is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spoke unto you, when he was yet in Galilee,Select Luke 24:6

7Saying: The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and the third day rise again.Select Luke 24:7

8And they remembered his words.Select Luke 24:8

9And going back from the sepulchre, they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.Select Luke 24:9

10And it was Mary Magdalen and Joanna and Mary of James and the other women that were with them, who told these things to the apostles.Select Luke 24:10

11And these words seemed to them as idle tales: and they did not believe them.Select Luke 24:11

12But Peter rising up, ran to the sepulchre and, stooping down, he saw the linen cloths laid by themselves: and went away wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.Select Luke 24:12

13And behold, two of them went, the same day, to a town which was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, named Emmaus.Select Luke 24:13

14And they talked together of all these things which had happened.Select Luke 24:14

15And it came to pass that while they talked and reasoned with themselves, Jesus himself also, drawing near, went with them.Select Luke 24:15

16But their eyes were held, that they should not know him.Select Luke 24:16

17And he said to them: What are these discourses that you hold one with another as you walk and are sad?Select Luke 24:17

18And the one of them, whose name was Cleophas, answering, said to him: Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things that have been done there in these days?Select Luke 24:18

19To whom he said: What things? And they said: Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people.Select Luke 24:19

20And how our chief priests and princes delivered him to be condemned to death and crucified him.Select Luke 24:20

21But we hoped that it was he that should have redeemed Israel. And now besides all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done.Select Luke 24:21

22Yea and certain women also of our company affrighted us who, before it was light, were at the sepulchre,Select Luke 24:22

23And not finding his body, came, saying that they had all seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive.Select Luke 24:23

24And some of our people went to the sepulchre and found it so as the women had said: but him they found not.Select Luke 24:24

25Then he said to them: O foolish and slow of heart to believe in all things, Which the prophets have spoken.Select Luke 24:25

26Ought not Christ to have suffered these things and so, to enter into his glory?Select Luke 24:26

27And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things that were concerning him.Select Luke 24:27

28And they drew nigh to the town whither they were going: and he made as though he would go farther.Select Luke 24:28

29But they constrained him, saying: Stay with us, because it is towards evening and the day is now far spent. And he went in with them.Select Luke 24:29

30And it came to pass, whilst he was at table with them, he took bread and blessed and brake and gave to them.Select Luke 24:30

31And their eyes were opened: and they knew him. And he vanished out of their sight.Select Luke 24:31

32And they said one to the other: Was not our heart burning within us, whilst he spoke in the way and opened to us the scriptures?Select Luke 24:32

33And rising up, the same hour, they went back to Jerusalem: and they found the eleven gathered together, and those that were with them,Select Luke 24:33

34Saying: The Lord is risen indeed and hath appeared to Simon.Select Luke 24:34

35And they told what things were done in the way: and how they knew him in the breaking of bread.Select Luke 24:35

36Now, whilst they were speaking these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them and saith to them: Peace be to you. It is I: Fear not.Select Luke 24:36

37But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit.Select Luke 24:37

38And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?Select Luke 24:38

39See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Handle, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me to have.Select Luke 24:39

40And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and feet.Select Luke 24:40

41But while they yet believed not and wondered for joy, he said: Have you here any thing to eat?Select Luke 24:41

42And they offered him a piece of a broiled fish and a honeycomb.Select Luke 24:42

43And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them.Select Luke 24:43

44And he said to them: These are the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms, concerning me.Select Luke 24:44

45Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.Select Luke 24:45

46And he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead, the third day:Select Luke 24:46

47And that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.Select Luke 24:47

48And you are witnesses of these things.Select Luke 24:48

49And I send the promise of my Father upon you: but stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high.Select Luke 24:49

50And he led them out as far as Bethania: and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.Select Luke 24:50

51And it came to pass, whilst he blessed them, he departed from them and was carried up to heaven.Select Luke 24:51

52And they adoring went back into Jerusalem with great joy.Select Luke 24:52

53And they were always in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.Select Luke 24:53
